Faith and I are having a lot of fun checking out the new Lalaloopsy Tinies dolls! There's something just too fun about these little mini-figures and the actual curly hair is awesome.
What we love about them?
We missed the original Lalaloopsy craze since Faith was a little bit older when they came out, but mini figures are still a lot of fun to play with. Since Faith loves crafting and doodling, we decided to design a little playset for the Tinies, that would be the perfect take-along toy since it folds up to the size of a book. Even better, you can add on to it or design a new set anytime you feel like it!
We used this basic fold up tutorial from Kids Activity Blog. I had some white shipping cardboard leftover from a package (about the thickness of a cardboard box). I cut it in half, then each half in half again. I penciled in a few roof shapes and cut those angles with large scissors. We wanted a few doors and windows, so I traced those lightly in pencil, then used a craft knife to cut them out.
Then came the fun part! We doodled houses and designs onto each building to decorate a street scene--windows, doors, gardens, even a few butterflies and pets. Once the drawings were finished, we set the houses out in order and I punched two holes in the shared sides. We tied them with a bit of ribbon and cut off the edges. You'll want to tie them in a large M or W shape so they fold up easily.
You can find the Lalaloopsy Tinies at Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, and Amazon, don't forget to collect the different sets! Or check out Lalaloopsy online at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
Disclosure: We received a package of Lalaloopsy Tinies with Hair from MGA Entertainment for the purposes of this review. No other compensation was received and all opinions are my own.
What we love about them?
- They are adorable! I can't get past how cute they are.
- They are teeny tiny. Faith always loved the miniature toys over anything normal sized.
- They are portable. When Faith was a toddler, I always had a few mini things in my purse to keep her entertained while we are out.
- There are tons of varieties, even animals. I want a few of those for me.
