Disney magic comes home for the holidays
Sunday, December 20, 2009Disney is in the business of making magic, and frankly, they're darn good at it. Find inspiration in a collection of old and new character-themed books, dolls and playsets to put under the tree.
Get the kids in t
he kitchen with Tiana's Cookbook: Recipes for
Kids, a new how-to from Disney Press packed with
easy-to-follow, kid-friendly recipes (think Froggy-in-the-Water
Cupcakes, Big Daddy's Sugar Cookies, Mama Odie's Muffuletta
Sandwich and more) straight from The Princess and the
Frog. Rated on a five-frog scale for difficulty, each page
features a large photo (so you can see what the end result should
look like), along with lots of colorful images and trivia from the
movie.
Little princesses in the making can live the froggy fairy tale over and over again with a plush The Princess and the Frog Tiana doll. The soft, 21-in. doll (other Disney princesses available, too) comes dressed in a sparkling green gown complete with tiara and has soft, embroidred features.
Give Barbie a break an
d go for something more "happily ever after" with
Disney's Deluxe Snow White Doll and Wardrobe Play Set. Inspired by
the company's first full-length film, the dressable doll comes in a
collector's display box with four different costumes, two pairs of
shoes, a wedding veil and hair bows to match. Not too bad for a
girl that once defined shabby chic.
Even the littlest mouseketeers have treasures to tote. Keep them
from cluttering up your carryall with a sweet Minnie Mouse Toy
Purse. Shaped just like the girly mouse herself, the plastic set
includes a pretend cell phone, car keys, a lipstick and c
ompact.
Mickey Mouse's Magic Choo Choo Train Set invites little engineers to recreate the special episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Rides the Choo-Choo Express from Playhouse Disney. Choose from two modes of play to extend the fun, including a function that allows the train to pick up and lay down track automatically. The set includes the engine, one car, a Mickey Mouse figurine, 10 pieces of track and two signs. One wish? That Disney would come out with expansion packs and accessores (think bridges and additional cars) to elongate the track.
