Lalaloopsy Potty Surprise Review and Giveaway

As a big doll fan myself, Lalaloopsy is one doll that i've simply fallen in love with, I collect dolls and so to start collecting Lalaloopsy for myself is something i've had to stop myself doing. BUT that doesn't mean I can't collect them for Lily. Right?

We have a couple of the dolls. Some Lily plays with and some that I have on display in the box until she is a little older. So when I got a email from Lalaloopsy asking if I would like to review a doll for them I was just as excited for myself as well as Lily. Haha

We were sent the new Baby Lalaloopsy Potty Surprise Doll.

When it arrived in its box it looked amazing. I love the fact that Lalaloopsy has so much character and colour. I was so excited to give it a try.

Firstly the Lalaloopsy Baby is so cute. Her name is Jewel Sparkles. I love her button eyes, pink hair and cute dummy that she comes with. Her outfit is also adorable with her kitty bib. She is made of hard plastic and her arms and legs move so she can sit down on the potty. 

So what makes this Lalaloopsy so special and why is it called Potty Surprise? Well this Lalaloopsy eats food and then uses the potty and magically poops out shapes.

Its not actually magic that makes her poop, there is a little technique to it. But children will be amazed and it will definetly seem magical to them.

To start you need to take the dummy out the Lalaloopsy's mouth and there is a hole where you can feed some food into. The food comes in little pots and is a sand like dough. The doll comes with 3 pots and in 3 different colours Purple, Pink and Orange. Lalaloopsy also comes with a dish and spoon.

First you scoop some of the mixture into the spoon and smooth it off. You turn the back of Lalaloopy to decide what shape she will poop out. There is no way in knowing which shape will come out. Which my guess is why she is called Potty Surprise.  Time to take off her nappy and then you can pour the mixture into her mouth. Then you need to turn her bellybutton clockwise and hold for a few seconds. I was counting to 5. You then sit Lalaloopsy on the potty and move her backwards and forwards. This hits a little button that releases the colourful shaped poop into the potty.
The mixture can be used over and over again. 

So what did I think of the doll?

Firstly I think the idea of feeding the doll and it pooping is clever and that children will love to do this. I didn't let Lily do it and instead let her watch because she is a little young to be playing with the mixture. But she thought that it was brilliant. She is really going to enjoy sitting the doll on the potty.

I think the quality of the doll is brilliant. For the price of £29.99 she really does have a lot to offer and is worth the money. I think the fact you get 3 pots of mixture and that it can be re used over and over again is great. You get a decent amount of mixture in each pot so it will last for quite a while.

I do think that all the steps you have to take may be a little confusing for some children. It even took me a few goes before I understood how to do it. The toy is aimed at 4 plus and I think some 4 year olds may need help to make the doll poop.

The little poop shapes that came out were cool. They were a flower, heart and a button shape. I couldn't quite get the shapes to come out perfectly though and sometimes they didn't come out as a shape at all. Who knows.. maybe I was doing it wrong?

Overall the doll is great though and I can see how children are going to love playing with this doll and it may end up on a few christmas and birthday lists this year.
