I love my Boots, my Boots and me...

I'm breaking out of my comfort zone here (I usually ONLY review books, movies and music) to review a toy I recently purchased for my daughter (this is the fourth of potentially 5 reviews). My daughter (who is 2) is IN LOVE with Dora and Diego. She already has a few Dora dolls (not to mention a bedspread) but I just couldn't resist these little Ty dolls.
I actually really like the size. She can stuff all five of her dolls in her Dora Backpack and take them around the house with her. She loves to take Boots to bed with her (I don't advise young ones sleeping with Dora or Diego, beings that their hair is a bit of a choking hazard). My daughter already had a Boots doll that we got her when she saw `Dora Live', but the doll is about twice the size of this little Ty doll and is much harder. This Boots is a much softer and thus more lovable version of Boots, so I'm happy with it and she is too.
Yes, I gave it only four stars on durability since the ware and tear of a toddler can do some damage. Boots already is separating at the seams on his legs, so I had to get onto my little one for pulling at his legs. No, his legs are not falling off, but I can tell that they are getting weak. So, just watch your little ones to make sure they don't `love these little guys to death'.
If your kids love Dora (and especially that lovable little monkey, Boots) you can rest easy knowing that they will LOVE these dolls as well!
And a note to parents, these toys are NOT educational; but the show is VERY much so (my kids speaks Spanish! Like, OMG, I don't speak a word and she converses with me in Spanish at TWO YEARS OLD!!!). |
My Son Loves this Character

I had already bought Swiper Dora's fox for my son, and I thought Boots would make a nice addition. This TY product has held up very well, with no signs of wear and tear.
When my son is watching the Dora episode on Nick Jr. Favorites Boxed Set (Vol. 1-3), in Volume 1, he uses both TY characters to act out the commotion over Boots's missing fire truck.
While he doesn't play with Boots every day, he still hasn't lost interest in it. |
Adorable!

| My 2 1/2 yr old daughter got this doll from the Easter bunny and she loves it. She takes Boots everywhere. He looks just like the character on Dora the Explorer. |
Perfect size little Boots for little hands.

| I did not realize when I ordered this that it is a TY Beanie Babie. That was a good thing though. I have always found TY Babies to be very durable, even holding up to the tiny hands. My granddaughter just loves her new BOOTS! |
Boots -- cute toy

| My daughter loves this stuffed animal. She has to have Boots when she goes to sleep at night and loves to have him sit by her (and Dora) when she watches Dora. |
