LOL Surprise Mermaids Tots with Color Change Tail, Make A Mermaid Tail, 8 Dolls to Collect, Fashion Accessories, Great Gift for Kids Ages 4+

this was a fun little experiment for me and my daughter you get to make the mermaid tail my daughter loved it!

This isn't just any ole LOL doll. This doll includes an activity! You get to mold a mermaid tail, which requires a fortnight. It's a great small gift for a 4-5 year old.

At first I thought this would be a disaster because I bought the mermaid L.O L. dolls for my neice who is too young for the fabrication process but I didn't read or watch enough to know I'd be making the tails. That said, it ended up being a "me" project which was interesting if not a little fun. I've read reviews about the process failing and it comes down to chemistry- the directions are there for a reason this time- for example, leaving the mixture "to set" for an extra 45 minutes won't make it more durable but can degrade the reaction cause liquification after the mold has set and then disappointment. One thing the original directions didn't include was that there will be extra product (to throw away as it isn't that goo / slime some kids play with) nor did it clearly state to fill the line BELOW the actual fill line. I think it was known but overlooked as the density (space) taken up by the doll's figure will displace some of the mixture making it rise and overflow. Once it dries you can cut the top edges with sharp small scissors or some other crafty tools but I'm not super "crafty" - just a science need who lives toys and her neice very much! These pics are of knew of the doll's we made out of 4 or 5 total. I honestly don't know but am pretty sure this was the one ordered bc I wouldn't have taken pictures of the process if not for a review. One last tip, the doll's are the same size as standard L.O.L. doll's and they still include accessories and an extra outfit for when they aren't in their tails. Be sure to place the doll in the mold as you will position during play; otherwise there could be a thicker front and almost bare heel when finished. Oh and the little bit I did spill over I wiped the glitter part in her hair and we think it looks cool, but the pink wiped up quickly and didn't stain.

Loved by a 6 yr old girl!

My kids love making these. Overall, it’s easy to make the mermaid tail. It can tear though so be careful.

Grand daughter loves her.

Bellísima!

The toy is fine, once it finally arrived. I got caught up in the Black Friday hype and ordered this LOL Mermaid for my granddaughter. Original delivery was promised Dec. 3. It finally came today, Jan. 6. So much for giving it as a Christmas gift.
