My niece turned four over the weekend and someone gave her this adorable Make a Princess Doll Kit (US$13). Sure, the homemade princess will be sitting amongst her Ariel, Cinderella and Belle dolls. But I love that fact that she will help make the doll, and be able to give it her own look. It's not linked to any highly marketed movie or cartoon character--a big plus in my eyes.
Also? It's not overly glam or sexy. (Holy cow! It's truly age appropriate!)
Buh-bye Bratz doll, hello age-appropriate princess
