Blume “Fun in The Sun” Dolls — 10 Surprises!, Assorted

I put this in my 3yo daughter’s Easter basket and thought she’d want to do it right away. However, we just “grew” it yesterday, which is 2.5 weeks post-Easter. Nevertheless, we both enjoyed the experience! The blooming occurred much more quickly than I anticipated (under 10 seconds) so it was very quick, but that’s probably best for short attention spans. After it grew, she wanted to take it out right away and play. It also comes with an outfit, shoes, accessory (sunglasses in our case), and a little pet/friend. The compartments for those were hard to open, but again, the concept was novel and fun. She’s been pleasantly enjoying this little doll with the squishy hair! For the low cost, I’d definitely say it’s a great value for the money! If play is too rough, I could see the potential for the “hair” to pull out, but overall I’d also say it seems to be a sturdy toy. This would be fun to gift to a young girl as a small addition to a larger gift, or as a small but fun “just because” gift.

My daughter had been talking about these and I had absolutely no clue what they were. I ordered it anyways and she was so excited when it came. She told me we were going to water it and a fairy would grow, but i wasn't exactly convinced thats how it would work. But, thats exactly how it worked! I was geeked to see how it worked and had to stop myself from getting another one just to do it again. A fun toy with a neat reveal for fairly cheap.

This was the first time I purchased a Blume doll for my daughter. She loves these little surprise toys with all their little prizes. She was so excited to water the doll and the doll popped up very quickly! The dolls hair is very high and squishy and she comes with little shoes and clothing. I would definitely recommend as a gift for a child.

The idea of this is cute. A little figure with accessories comes in a flower pot. Pour a little water and it "blooms". The child that received this loved it. There are many colorful characters to collect, some rarer than others. It combines bright and colorful, squishy, and surprises all in one toy. There was a little difficulty in getting the flower pot to open and the blooming could have been better. It was still a big hit.

The first time I bought one of these, my daughter neglected to pull a tab as per the instructions, and the doll failed to pop up for my waiting grandchildren without dousing the top with lots of extra water. Follow the instructions to the letter, and your kids will have a great treat. Once the doll pops up, your kids need to hunt through the cute container to find all the hidden extras. Each one comes with a collection of accoutrements.
