Disney Encanto Deluxe Doll Set

Product Information

The playhouse includes two working doors, a flag holder (flag sold separately), and a mailbox slot for all of your toddler’s important deliveries. My favorite feature: the opening windows that work for playing “drive-through.” I’ve enjoyed many a delicious meal of sand fries from this fine establishment. But Take Note: Batteries aren’t included, and you’ll need to set it up on a toddler-height surface to get the best bubbles.

Whether you’re looking to get outside with large-scale fun, like a giant waterslide, or something on the smaller end, like an electric bubble blower, the best outdoor toddler toys help the whole family make new memories together. After all, as the weather warms up and we all start to shake off the doldrums of winter, it might be time to think about some ways to get out of the house with our kids again. Pool fun is the best for toddlers, but it can also be a challenge to keep young skin safe in the harsh rays of the sun. This pool solves that timeless dilemma with an umbrella shade. Your toddler will enjoy splashing in the pool, but if that’s not enough, it also comes with its own accessories. You’ll get three three funnel cups for dumping and scooping water, and a spinning water wheel. You really can’t go wrong with a set of classic sidewalk chalk—except for the mess. But this set featuring favorite “Gabby’s Dollhouse” characters will help your toddler’s coordination in handling the chalk and prevent lots of colored chalk mess on their hands. This inflatable waterslide has been able to accommodate and entertain my five children ranging in age from toddler to preteen during the warm weather months. Isabela’s stunning flower hair clip, dainty gold earrings, and purple espadrille shoes complete her classic look. With this Isabela Madrigal doll, you can pretend you have flower powers too!Why We Like It: It’s a classic playhouse cottage that all ages can enjoy, plus, it’s easy to put together on your own without any tools. Simple designs are best when selecting an outdoor toy for toddlers, adds Dr. Hong. Look for toys that have smooth surfaces and rounded edges to prevent any injuries or cuts. “Toys should also be lightweight, easy to grasp, and brightly colored to help capture a child's attention,” he says. Last but not least, especially if you’re investing in a pricier toy or have multiple children, it might be helpful to consider the longevity of the toy. Can it convert to use as your child grows? Does it have other functions that can be used in different ways? Is it durable enough to be passed down to another child safely?

Our family has personally owned this Little Tikes playhouse for over 8 years now. I really appreciated how easy it was to put together. My 7-year-old, 5-year-old, and I assembled it without any tools required. The playhouse is also very lightweight, at only 32 pounds, so I could move it around the yard, and during the winter, I put it in our basement for the kids to play with all year round. (This year, I forgot to bring it inside, and it did end up blowing away, so be sure to learn from my mistakes!) Why We Like It: This three-in-one scooter can be used by toddlers as young as 12 months old, and converted as they grow. Encanto (2021) follows the story of the Madrigal family who inherit magical gifts from their home from the realm of Encanto. However, their youngest daughter, Mirabel, is the first member of the family to not receive a gift from the Encanto. Mirabel learns that the magic is fading from the Encanto and must go on a journey to find out what is happening, and what it means for her family.

About Encanto

Mirabel, Isabela, Luisa, and Antonio come dressed in their signature outfits and accessories inspired by Disney’s Encanto!

Walt Disney Animation Studio’s 60th feature, Encanto, tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an ‘Encanto’. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.But Take Note: If your toddler has older siblings, just be prepared for lots of “helpers” who want to push! But Take Note: It is lightweight, so if you get a lot of high winds or severe weather, you may want to move it indoors so it doesn’t blow away or get damaged. But Take Note: While basil can be safely grown and kept indoors, you’ll need a large planter or outdoor garden space for your carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers if you choose the vegetable kit. Why We Like It: Toddlers can delight in an endless cascade of bubbles floating around them, while you don’t have to lift a finger to produce said bubbles. Win-win. As far as features go, an attached seat belt ensures your toddler won’t tip out, while the footrests are comfortable to keep little toes from being run over. She also loves storing special items in the opening “hood.” The buggy can hold up to 50 pounds, so we are still getting a lot of use out of it, and my older kids love pushing her around on it too.

Journey into the Magical Casa Madrigal from Disney’s Encanto, and bring the magical gifts of the Madrigal family to life! Designed to be just like the vast and extraordinary Casita, this playset includes lights, sounds and movement features, and stands over 15 inches tall, unfolding to reveal 3 floors with 7 furnished rooms! The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) does recommend daily outdoor playtime for all ages, even babies. There are many differences in families’ abilities and access to outdoor spaces, so the AAP stresses that even small amounts of time outdoors can have health benefits. The most important thing is to get outside as often as you can and enjoy the time together, not stress about how much time you toddler is or isn’t getting outside. How much should I spend on outdoor toddler toys? Kids with inseams of 12-20 inches can use this bike starting as young as 18 months old, all the way up until they are 5 years old—both the seat and the handlebar are adjustable to use as they grow. At just 6 pounds, the Strider is lightweight enough to throw into your vehicle for travel or new local adventures. Plus, it can handle rough and smooth terrain. Choose from eight different colors for every toddler style, and when your child is ready, you can add foot brakes or rugged tires (sold separately) for more off-roading adventures. Walt Disney Animation Studio’s 60th feature, Encanto, tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an ‘Encanto’. Then, when they’re ready to move up a level around age 2, you can remove the seat and the scooter is ready to use as a stand-on scooter with a short O-bar. As one last level, swap the O-bar for a T-bar, and the scooter transforms into the Micro Mini Original scooter that can be used all the way up to 5 years old.

Gifts, Toys & Accessories

On the side of the pool, there are also two handy steps that can double as seats for toddlers to sit in and splash or enjoy their favorite hydrating poolside beverage. All of the cups and funnels also attach directly to the side of the pool, making clean-up a snap. But Take Note: There’s no drain on this pool, so to empty it, you will have to detach the umbrella and tip the whole thing over. Strider balance bikes take a twist on teaching kids to ride a bike and transform the classic parent-holding-onto-the-seat-and-running method that many of us grew up with. Instead, the balance bike comes without pedals and teaches kids to first grasp the fundamentals of learning to balance on the bike before they ever even touch a foot pedal. Why We Like It: You can adjust the water pressure to find the perfect splashing height, or use it primarily as a wading pool. The built-in air pump makes inflating a breeze, and it’s surprisingly lightweight for how big the slide is; my 12-year-old daughter managed to put it away all on her own when cleaning the yard one day. And because the slide is so large, you’ll want to move it or stash it away regularly to avoid damaging your grass.
