My Little Pony Play Doh Cutie Mark Creators Review

Another Christmas gift from me to Brianna is this My Little Pony Play Doh Cutie Mark Creators set. I found this at the very last minute and decided to buy it for my little girl.

The set comes with 4 small cans of Play Doh:

There are two shades of blue, a purple can, and what looks like a salmon pink colored dough. Like any other Play Doh...uh...doughs, they hardened easily. And just like the other cans we had, I didn't know how to soften them up.

There were two ponies in this set, the first one being Pinkie Pie.

You can mold clay onto her mane and her tail, just like what Brianna's doing in the photo below:

There's also a roller that comes with Pinkie Pie

which produces this:

Those are horseshoes and those with balloons have Pinkie Pie's cutie mark. A cutie mark is a tattoo of sorts that symbolizes the girls'/ponies' destinies. As for Pinkie Pie, she has balloons which apparently means that her destiny is to become a party planner.

The second mold is of Twilight Sparkle:

Like the Pinkie Pie figure, you can mold clay onto her mane, her tail, and her wings. There's also a mold under her hooves, instead of a roller:

and it produces this:

Those are molds of Twilight's cutie mark, the symbol inside her cutie mark, and her crown when she became a princess.

Brianna loves this set so much. She can't get enough of the two figures, she plays with them even without the dough. She also watched a review on YouTube for this and made herself her own video "reviewing" the My Little Pony Play Doh Cutie Mark Creators set. If your child loves My Little Pony, you have got to get her this.

The Doc McStuffins I Feel Better First Aid Kit Review

Now, my favorite among all of the prizes we got from the Doc McStuffins Hugs and Snugs Contest last year: The Doc McStuffins I Feel Better First Aid Kit!

Before anything else, I would just like to say that I am the most excited person to open this toy. Hihi.

Anyway, the box is made of hard plastic, like most organizers available in the market. It has Doc McStuffins stickers, of course. It's pink and purple, to complement the colors of Doc's clothes:

Of course, it came with some doctor stuff that are too adorable!

A. This is a bandaid holder...or whatever it is called. Hihi. It holds all the sticker bandaids in the set.
B. This thermometer doesn't work, obviously. It has smiley faces in different colors ranging from red to blue to "indicate" the patient's temperature.
C. These bangle-like things are "bandaids" for kids. You can actually wear them. One has a pink heart and the other has a purple heart.
D. I believe these are tweezers. It can actually pick-up small stuff like cotton balls, small toys, and stuff but it can't really pullout hair like the real ones.
E. The purple scissors also don't work, even with paper like those plastic scissors you get alongside stationery kits.
F. The last item in the kit is medicine, I have to guess. There's a glass in front of it but you can't take the cap off so there's no use for the glass, I think.

(I'm pretty sure they aren't really called bandaids because it's a brand but whatevs. We've been calling them that for the longest time, just like Pampers.)

Anyway, I only have one complaint on the I Feel Better First Aid Kit: It's so hard for my daughter to open the box. It's simple, yes, because you only press the circle thing right here:

but my daughter can't open it without my help. I think that whatever it is that needs to unlock when you press it doesn't click right away that's why it's pretty hard to open.

Right now, this Doc McStuffins I Feel Better First Aid Kit holds all her pretend doctor toys. She has 3 sets, including the ones that came with this, which is a lot so you have some kind of idea on how roomy it actually is.

In Toy Kingdom, this set retails for Php999. It costs too much, if you ask me, all things considered. That's the reason why I didn't buy it despite the fact that I really wanted it and Brianna wasn't really into it.

All in all, it's a great toy. It helps your kid with his/her pretend play and at the same time, everything in it is too cute for words!

Doc McStuffins' Big Book of Boo Boos

This Big Book of Boo Boos stationery set is part of the prizes we won in Disney Junior's Doc McStuffins Hugs and Snugs Contest last October (I think). I wrapped this alongside one more Doc McStuffins prize and put them under the tree, which she opened during the holidays.

The cardboard covers are colored purple and its pink ring is made of plastic. As opposed to the cover we have, there are no bandages on it. Brianna was just too excited to use it, she put a couple of stickers on the cover.

There were several pages in the Doc McStuffins Big Book of Boo Boos and they all look like this:

To tell you the truth, I'd prefer for it to have more pages than it actually has. Brianna could easily finish all the pages in one sitting...which she almost did had I not stopped her from doing so. Yes, I'm kind of controlling like that.

The book comes with these crayons:

The one on the right is a pink crayon while the other one is apparently violet. I had to test it to actually know what color it is:

Before writing that, I thought it was black. I might be color blind. What do you think?

This is quite a useful 'toy', which is what I normally look for in toys. After Brianna uses up all the pages, she can use the crayons to color her homework and stuff.

Christmas Gifts Review Part 2: My Little Pony Equestria Girls Dolls

Brianna got 3 My Little Pony: Equestria Girls dolls last Christmas and two of them were from me. She loves My Little Pony so much, as we've all established here, so I thought that getting her the Equestria Girls dolls would freak her out - in a good way - and it did! She can't stop carrying them everywhere we go.

To be quite honest, I found these dolls cute so when she requested for these, I didn't flinch one bit. Hehe.

Pinkie Pie

The dolls are a lot smaller than Barbie and a lot thinner. I think they're made of hard plastic like those mean girls in the greatest chick flick ever made. Their skins are the same colors of their pony counterparts and they have pony ears on top of their heads so they kinda look weird in a way. They also have their cutie marks tattooed on their faces. All of them have lapel microphones on their heads which you can remove and put on the other dolls.

Rarity

The first two dolls right here have rubber tops and shiny skirts while the last doll has one huge puffy dress:

Twilight Sparkle

All of them have lapel mics and shoes made of the same material as the tops. Best of all, you can mix and match the parts - which is Brianna's favorite part:

Here are what the dolls look like wearing clothes different from their own:

I love Pinkie Pie wearing Twilight Sparkle's dress! Okay, I might be biased because I love the Pinkie Pie doll itself.

Brianna has 3 dolls now and she's requesting to get the 3 remaining dolls - Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash - on her birthday...which is in February. Haha! Gusto talaga niya kumpletuhin.

All in all, I love these dolls. They're so much lighter than Barbie dolls so carrying all of them in my purse is not a big deal and this is probably better than the mix and match thing. At the rate Brianna's going, I might have to carry all 6 dolls all the time once she completes them.

Doc McStuffins Hugs and Snugs Contest

Lately, I've been on the mommy mindset a lot: thinking of where I'd get the money for Brianna's upcoming birthday party (in school), trying to budget what money I have now to last at least til the end of the year, scheduling different activities for Brianna, the boyfriend, and I to enjoy... It gets tiring a lot of times and I do quite a lot of nonsensical things whenever I take a breather from being a mom. One of those "nonsensical things" was join this contest in Disney Junior Asia called the Doc McStuffins Hugs and Snugs Contest and guess what?

WE WERE ONE OF THE WINNERS!!!

They sent us a bunch of Doc McStuffins toys as prize and they all came last Monday:

What we got were the following:

1. Doctor Dress-Up Set (which Brianna opened right away)
2. Musical Light-Up Mic
3. I Feel Better First Aid Kit
4. Big Book of Boo Boos
5. Doc & Friends (Stuffy)
6. Doc & Friends (Chilly)

That is one happy little girl!

I had her open one of the prizes right away, as promised. She picked the Doctor's Dress-Up Set and this is how she looks like in it:

A quick review of the Doctor's Dress-Up Set:

1. The white doctor's lab coat and striped inner shirt were too big for her right now, which is perfect for next Halloween (MUHAHAHAHA saved, like, 800 pesos for next year's costume).
2. The signature Doc McStuffins pink headband is not of standard size. I guess it would fit a kid with a cone for a head or something. It was that tight.
3. The doctor's name badge came with interchangeable inserts: There's one with Doc McStuffins' name on it and the other one's blank for the kids' name.
4. The pink plastic stethoscope doesn't make any sounds or even just light up. It's so cute, though.

I kept everything else so I can wrap them for Christmas. I explained to her how she'd have more gifts to open for Christmas if she didn't open everything in one go and she was immediately on board.

We already have some of the prizes (Musical Light-Up Mic, Doc & Friends - Stuffy, and Doc & Friends - Chilly) and Brianna, being the thoughtful girl that she is, told me we could give them to her cousins/titas (my baby cousins) as gifts this Christmas.

Personally, I can't wait to open the I Feel Better First Aid Kit. I've seen that one in Toy Kingdom the first time they had Doc McStuffins toys in stock and I immediately fell in love with it...okay, I totes love anything that comes close to being an organizer of sorts. Anyway, I am posting the reviews of the other toys after Christmas, once she opens them.

I love joining contests and I love winning them but most of all, I love winning them for my daughter. It makes me feel like I'm making her feel proud of me. Yes, right now they're just petty online contests but next time, I'll win in life and she will be so damn proud I'm her momma just like I am proud that she's my daughter.
