I have already purchased one of these for a birthday party this weekend. Definitely an Alpha Mom favorite and a Holiday Hot Toy Hit, and we’re not surprised it’s on the Hot Toy Lists of many of the retailers this holiday season. (Sorry I couldn’t resist.)įinal Word on Frozen Snow Glow Elsa Singing Doll: “Frozen” mania continues and this Elsa doll is a nice addition. But if you have a kid that’s mad about Elsa, buy this and try to just let it go. It has no off button and it has no volume control.
There are a couple problems with the doll. This doll comes with an Olaf sidekick and three AAA batteries. You can set the doll to talk/sing in English or Spanish. The dolls sings, “Let it Go” (just a part of the song) and says 15 phrases from the movie. Your child can touch this doll’s snowflake necklace and hear Elsa to talk to her Frozen friends as her dress lights up. If you’ve got an Elsa lover at home, this is a fabulous holiday gift. This singing Elsa doll (My First Disney Princess) ($30 – $47 depending on where you buy it) is a HUGE favorite in my house. Hopefully Anna can work it out in therapy some day. We already know that Elsa gets all the glory and poor Anna always seems to be second fiddle.
