Melissa & Doug Ballerina Magnetic Dress-Up Doll

We’re going to guess that quite a few hands are up, and we’re going to guess that your little girls also dream of pirouettes and plies, slippers and tutus. Indulge your child’s ballet fantasies (and your own) with the Nina Ballerina Magnetic Dress-Up Doll from Melissa & Doug!

Nina Ballerina is a friendly wooden doll perched on a wooden stand, and embedded magnets enable you to stick all sorts of wonderful ballerina clothing on her. Nina’s ballet ensembles range from tutus (of course – always tutus) to voluminous skirts to practice tights, with an appropriate selection of slippers to match. We love the fact that Nina has a childlike shape that kids can identify with and feel good about.

And we especially love the fact that the Melissa & Doug wooden Nina Ballerina is built tough! The Nina Ballerina Magnetic Dress-Up Doll set functions like a paper doll set, but the pieces are thick and sturdy so that kids can grip them easily, but don’t need to be too careful with their favorite toy. Nina Ballerina is up for any pretend-play scenario your child can invent, especially if it involves dancing! Includes 27 pieces and a storage case (there is no lid, so put it in a Ziploc bag for travel); for ages 3 and up.
