The perks of being a mom blogger who reviews toys include getting a sneak peek at the hottest coolest toys to hit the market. Last Thursday I spent the day in New York City for the Time to Play Press conference where the Holiday’s Most Wanted Toys would be revealed. 16 Toys topped the list.
My favorite toy on the list was the Barbie Fashionista Doll line – these girls are fully poseable and at a price point of $11.99, you can’t beat the value. These dolls are gorgeous and detailed with 6 styles to choose from at a price every girl can afford.
I’ll be sure to talk about many of my favorites from this list and the Toy Show with photos and videos in the coming weeks as the holiday shopping season is about to hit us all on fast forward.
