While we haven't seen the movie yet, we've seen tons of previews for the new Disney- Pixar movie, Brave.? My kids are, of course, very eager to see the movie and thrilled at the new toys they're seeing in the stores.? So when we had a chance to review the Brave Gem Styling Merida doll and Brave Castle & Forest Playset from Mattel, my daughter couldn't have been more thrilled!?
Being a girl, Brooke has seen her fair share of dolls in her young age, but she was still eager to have the newest one!? So far, however, she hasn't gotten a castle, and she was most excited about that toy in particular.? From the moment these came in the mail she was begging to get to play with them, and once the boxes were opened she did not put the toys down.? Day in and day out she has played with them, drug them around, even put them in her backpack to bring to church.
The Brave Gem Styling Merida doll comes with 6 gems to decorate Merida's blue gown or red hair.? Merida also has a reversible cape, one side blue and the other side a beautiful sparkly print.? A hair comb is also included, as well as Merida's bow and arrow.? Each of these accessories are removable.? This is great, as it allows Brooke to really play with every part of the doll and really use her imagination, but also makes it a bit rough to keep track of everything, especially the tiny gems.? We've been sure to be very careful to keep everything together at all times so nothing gets lost and, so far (knock on wood), everything is still accounted for!? Brooke has really enjoyed decorating Merida's dress and hair with the gems, and honestly, I found it entertaining as well! The gems have a velcro back, making them stick easily on Merida's dress or in her hair, but easy to remove and re-stick elsewhere.
The Brave Castle & Forest Playset is tons of fun too!? It came requiring a few pieces to be assembled, but it took me just a minute or two and it was ready! This set comes with quite a few pieces as well, including a bed, kitchen table and chair, treasure chest, Merida doll and her horse, Angus. The castle can be closed, revealing an outdoor forest.? When open it shows the inside of the kingdom where Merida lives.?
Brooke really enjoys playing with Merida and Angus, taking them all through the forest on an adventure before heading back to the castle for a nap. We have also been very careful to keep these pieces all together when she's done playing, but since the playset closes up, pieces can be put inside and kept together much easier.
Brooke is loving these new Brave toys, and couldn't be more thrilled with them! I love that they encourage her imagination and keep her busy playing with something instead of wanting to sit in front of the television during these hot summers!
