Reviewed for 2008, Kindergarten

Konichiwa! Namaste! Guten Tag! Give your kindergartner a tour of the world, with this set of magnetic dress up dolls. Like paper dolls, but created in a much more robust format, each tin comes with a magnetic figure, four background scenes, and three pages of magnetic outfits from across the globe. Whether your child is posing her doll in front of the Taj Mahal, or sweeping her across the hills of Japan, she'll get a kick out of swapping grass skirts for saris, and kimonos for Bavarian hats. Shoes, scarves, and plenty of props complete the scene. The best news? All the pieces stick fast to the box they arrive in, making this the perfect thing to stash in the car for pain-free rides, or stick in a bag for those times kids need to stay entertained at the restaurant or on the go. (Mudpuppy, $14.00)
