Hearts For Hearts Girls Doll Review & Giveaway

Changing the World One Heart at a Time! That is the goal of the new Hearts For Hearts Girls doll line and fashion collection from Playmates Toys. The collection features six dolls from around the world, each with an inspiring story to share.

The authentically dressed and lifelike dolls each represent a girl who is working to change her community in ways that are unique to her home country. Included with each doll are a friendship bracelet and a story booklet that explains how these multicultural girls live and contribute to their families, communities, and culture. Each doll also comes with a special code that unlocks a free membership to the kid-safe Hearts for Hearts Girls Website, which features:

• Additional information about each of the Hearts For Hearts Girls and the countries in which they live


• Educational activities and lively games that are fun and rich in culture


• Intriguing stories about real girls who are making a difference


• While all girls are welcome to visit the site, the code unlocks access to additional features, including a larger array of games and a "myHeart" page

To further bring to light each Hearts For Hearts Girls´ culture, additional outfits are available for the dolls, so that your little girl can envision her doll´s story as she plays and changes the doll´s attire.


Additionally, through a partnership with World Vision3, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each Hearts For Hearts Girls doll is donated to programs that support girls in that doll´s country. Whether it´s malaria nets in Africa, schoolbooks in Asia, or food supplies in the United States, these programs help girls to thrive and succeed.

• Meet Nahji who hails from Assam, India. Brave Nahji breaks tradition to bring courage and education to the girls who work in the tea fields of India.

My review: If you've read my blog before - you may know I have an 11 year old daughter. And she really loves dolls. We had been seeing some Ads for the Hearts For Hearts girl dolls - and she had wanted one. So she was really exited when I told her she would be getting one. She received Lilian and she was really happy! She cannot wait to try some games online - hopefully this weekend.

Here's a picture of her with her doll (my daughter is also wearing the bracelet it comes with)
