The Hottest Licenses and Coolest Characters are What Kids Want! It’s no surprise that licensed toys made it to the top of Walmart’s Chosen By Kids List. In addition to creative and crafty toys, kids are loving licensed toys from blockbusters like Disney’s Frozen and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as popular TV shows like Doc McStuffins. Since the holidays are fast approaching, Walmart has stocked up with extra inventory of these toys. This season parents can rest assured they will be able to get their hands on the season’s hottest items.
This week, we are talking about the Disney Princess Palace Pets Magic Dance Pumpkin, which ranked among Walmart’s most popular licensed toy on the Chosen by Kids Top 20 Toys List.
The Disney’s Princess Puppy Palace Pets Magic Dance Pumpkin ($49.97 at Walmart) comes to life and now can be any little princess’ favorite new pet. The toy is an adorable and interactive dog which lets children play and control it using the light-up magic wand remote controller.. The pup can speak over a dozen phrases, make sounds, follow movement commands and perform two dance sequences. This Disney princess pet has soft fabric ears, removable fur cuffs, stylish satin tutu and bow, over-sized plush tail and an elegant glittering tiara. There is no doubt this is one royal pooch. [This toy requires four AA and two AAA batteries to operate].
My girls got the chance to play with Pumpkin for this review. Here’s what they had to say:
Hi! I’m Alexandra, and I recently played with the new Palace Pets Pumpkin. It can do 4 tricks! It talks, wags, dances and curtsies. This is also a good toy for kids because it comes with a small storybook to read. Overall, this is a great toy for little kids, and their friends to play with!
Hi! I’m Victoria. I’m here to talk about the Palace Pets Pumpkin. So, Pumpkin is Princess Cinderella’s pet dog. Pumpkin comes alive with the magic wand that it comes with. It says nine different phrases. It can wag its tail too. It curtsies, and it dances to its two songs. It also includes a storybook! We had so much fun playing with Pumpkin! Glad to be able to tell you about her! Bye!
So, I had the chance to watch my 9 year old girls play with Pumpkin for a while, and it was hilarious. I was actually surprised with how much fun they were having, considering I thought that they were too old for this one! They were chasing Pumpkin all over the house, and making it do its tricks. At one point, they were laughing so hard they were beside themselves with some of the tricks they were doing.
At $49.97, I’m giving this one a thumbs up, and we think it’s totally worth it!
