Ms. Rachel Official Speak and Sing Doll ($24, originally $30)
My son, like many kids born in the last few years, has grown up watching Ms. Rachel's YouTube videos. This doll has more than 16 signature phrases and four songs to keep children engaged. It also includes a learning card with play ideas and skill-building tips. I caution parents and caregivers that these songs will get stuck in their head.
What Reviewers Say:
"This thing is a huge hit with my toddler! One hand has sayings from her show. The other hand has more popular song snippets from the show. She loves the hop little bunny and icky sticky bubble gum songs best. She's hard on toys. But this is holding up nicely. She got it a bit dirty and I was able to use a baby wipe to clean it. It's very cute. And she lights right up when she sees it. She even hug and kisses it! It was a little difficult at first to teach her how to properly push buttons in the hands. But after 3 days she's an old pro. She will keep pushing them until she gets to what she wants to hear! It functions beautifully. It's about as soft as you might expect for this style toy."
