Last year for Christmas when Sophie was five, I got her her first real big girl baby doll from Target: an Our Generation doll named LilyAnna. I was nervous about whether or not she’d like it, because since she had been developmentally delayed, her interest in toys was also delayed, and she never got too interested in her baby dolls. However, at age five she was ready, and she loved LilyAnna and the book about her, her horseback riding outfit and her pretty red party dress and picnic set. Woohoo!
So, when the Our Generation team contacted me a few weeks ago asking if I’d like to review their “R.V. Seeing You Camper” for their dolls, I of course said yes. Sophie is almost more into doll accessories than she is into the dolls themselves, and about flipped her lid when she saw the camper. It is really a good size and has lots of accessories inside: a blanket, cushion, two stools, pot holders, dishes, canisters, and a dish rack. Sophie l-o-v-e-s it! I think it’s a great toy, however it is a bit tight if you put more than one doll inside. But, it’s pretty large and I can see why they wouldn’t want to make it much bigger.
Sophie’s had a wonderful time playing and pretending with the camper and is now d-y-i-n-g to have the jeep that goes along with it (well played, Our Generation, well played!) I’ve been pleased with it and will likely purchase more accessories from this line, since they are so much more affordable that that other doll line which shall not be named. Sophie’s also really jonesing for this tea set.
Have any of you tried the Our Generation dolls or accessories? What do you think of them?
