The Casita brings children hours of play as they go on their own adventures by sliding down the bright red slide, hanging from the vines and flower, swinging on the treetop swing, crossing the wobbly bridge, having a dance party with Boots and Dora, and even uncovering a surprise visit from Swiper. Luckily, you'll know just what to say to keep the crafty fox away: "Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, no swiping!"
The DORA playset will feature songs and sounds straight from the show, and will also come with an exclusive collector’s card that allows your child to expand their bilingual knowledge just like Dora. SRP $49.99; Age 3+.
Next up is the Dance With Me Dora doll. Learn to dance from Dora as she dances and twirls with the push of her flower buttons on her shoes. This 12-inch doll comes with two vibrant interchangeable skirts and two barrettes that Dora and your child can wear and share. Featuring bilingual songs and phrases from the beloved show, the Dance with Me Dora doll also comes with an exclusive collector’s card. SRP $49.99; Age 3+.
