Hasbro In The Night Garden Dress Up Upsy Daisy

Upsy Daisy - Dress up
**WHAT IT IS**
For those of you who don't already know Upsy Daisy is a character from the children's television show In the Night Garden. This show is shown on Cbeebies on the digital channel. At the moment it is on in the evening around the bedtime hour.
Upsy Daisy, Daisy Doo that's ... all I hear my daughter chime every time In the Night Garden comes on the television so I decided when I seen this toy in Tesco on offer I might as well buy it for her. It is a soft toy that can be brought to bed to snuggle up to (as long as all her accessories are taken off). Then in the morning you can dress Upsy Daisy up in her clothes. This toy is suitable for children aged 2 upwards.
**WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE & DOES**
Upsy Daisy looks exactly like what she does in the television program. She has a brown face with a pink head and multicoloured spaghetti look alike hair. She is wearing what looks like a sleep suit with strips and daisy's on it. These are orange, yellow and purple in colour. Upsy Daisy's face is very friendly and she is smiling.
The accessories that are included that you can dress Upsy Daisy in are two hair clips, a daisy bracelet, a daisy necklace, shoes, a skirt and a daisy handbag.
The Two hair clips are different colours one is pink and the other is orange. They both have pictures of daisies on them . They have a easy open clip on them so they can be opened and clipped onto Upsy Daisy's hair. These clips are rather large and are plastic. The one thing I have to say about them is that my daughter is constantly breaking them apart however they do click back into place if I need to do this.
The daisy bracelet is a single rather large daisy and it is also made out of sturdy plastic. There is no catches or anything the way that this is put on is that there is a small gap so you can fit it around Upsy Daisy's wrist.
She also has a necklace which you might have already guessed is made up out several daisies. Again this is made out of sturdy plastic and just like the bracelet there is a small gap at the back for you to put it on Upsy Daisy's neck. It means it can be put on or taken off very easily if you desire to.
The next accessory that she has is what most woman have and that is a handbag. What I like about this cute little handbag with a daisy on it is that you can open it. Inside if you wish you can add a photo. The only thing is that I am not sure how you would attach it safely for your toddler as it is made out of plastic. This handbag fits around Upsy Daisy's arm.
There is a removable skirt that has a plastic bending band around it so you can put it on and off easily. It looks sort of like a tutu. In the television programme Upsy Daisy's skirt is inflated when she dances. Sometimes my daughter pretends she is dancing when the skirt is on.
The last two accessories that Upsy Daisy has is her little pink shoes which are purple underneath with big pink daisy prints (not really a surprise there!) These can be slipped on and off her feet when you want to.
**MY OPINION**
This toy cost me £10.00 on offer at Tesco but I have seen them around £25 in the shops. For £10 I think that this is reasonable value for this toy if your child is an In the Night Garden fan. My daughter seen it in the store and pestered me until I bought it for her but I do feel she has gotten good use out of it.
My daughter takes this toy to bed at night and takes of her accessories. I use it as a tool to help settle my daughter before going to bed as she is getting her baby ready to go to sleep. The toy is soft enough for my daughter to sleep and sometimes she will hug it.
The only bad point I can say about this toy is that I find the accessories are scattered all over the place and parts can be lost easily. I suppose though for a lot of toys this is the case. My daughter likes to dress the doll up and undress her too but I feel if I had gotten her an Upsy Daisy that has no accessories she would be just as happy.
I find that my daughter just chews on the accessories quite often. They are safe enough to do so but I feel that they really aren't being used for their purpose as much as they should be.
I was happy with the price I paid for this product however I definitely would not of paid any more for it as I don't think it is worth the money.

Hasbro In The Night Garden Dress Up Upsy Daisy
by lorrainek858
I am a part time child minder and look after myy neice and nephew, while their mum goes out to work three days a week and it's good to keep something in the house for them to play with as they are over around at mine so much.
My niece has had this toy for a while now, she is a big fan of the In The Night Garden show on ... cebeebies and watches it every day along with her Upsy Daisy and Iggle Piggle soft toys.
There is a number of different accessories that come with the Upsy Daisy toy, they include:
Flower Clips- these are used in Upsy Daisy's hair, my niece is 30 months old and is fit to put the clips in herself every time, but with also likes a little bit of help sometimes, she enjoys making her toy look beautiful, also there are 3 clips, so my niece always wants you to put a clip in her hair and my own hair too so everyone is dressed up together.
Shoebox- this is a bright yellow plastic round box with a pink floral pattern on it, you can put Uspy Daisy's removable shoes into this which is a really nice feature of the toy as when I am putting on my nieces shoes to go out and she won't sit still, I go get Upsy Daisy and ask my niece to put on her shoes which distracts her for long enough to get her shoes on.
Mirror- a little plastic pink and yellow mirror to let your little one see themselves when they are dressing up themselves and Upsy Daisy.
Bracelet- this acts as a little flower bracelet for the child, and a necklace for the doll, the bracelet is moon shaped and open on one side so it won't get stuck easily on your child.
Upsy Daisys dress is puffy, just like in the In The Garden show and her hair is flexible making it easier to style and play with. She is brightly coloured and soft and cuddly to touch.
She is easily wiped down and dried out if any liquid is spilt on her and within reason shouldn't break or be damaged very easily.
The only negative thing about this toy is that it isn't really educational, it's more of a comfort toy, in the sense that you can only dress it up and that's about it, and is soft and cuddly, there are no numbers, letters or new words for her to learn through this toy, it is more of a nice cuddly buddy for her to chill out on the sofa with after a long day when she needs to take a nap or go to sleep.
This toy is suitable for ages 24 months and up.
This toy doesn't require any use of batteries.
I bought this toy for £20 in a local toy store in my town which was a bit expensive for a doll, but my niece loves her so much I don't mind spending the money, though it should also be available in Toymaster, Argos or online or any good toy stores.
I think that Upsy Daisy is a lovely toy for any girly little girl, she is fun to dress up and there are lots of little accessories that come with her, she is also really soft and huggable. My niece loves her Upsy Daisy and brings her everywhere with her, along with her Iggle Piggle of course too. Overall this is a great toy and a brilliant buy for any little girl aged 24 months up.

Hasbro Tweenies Fizz Doll
by emmad5689
When my daughter was old enough to start taking notice of things she never took her eyes from the TV however when we showed her childrens programmes she had no interest whatsoever which obviously is good but never let me get 5 minutes peace to get anything done. This was until she saw Tweenies just before her second birthday, she loved ... it and would sit engrossed for the whole programme, she still watches it now at over 3 and a half. I think it was the initial music that got her interest and she just loves to join in the song and dance that they always do at the beginning of the show.
Come her second birthday we knew what we would buy her, the Tweenies characters. These actually turned out to be quite hard to get hold of but we managed in the end scouring ebay and car boot sales and she was over the moon.
The fizz toy is about 6-7 inches long and has brown woolly hair, yellow skin and her trademark pink flowery dress, the dress feels a little rough but the woollen hair is really soft. The toy is soft and flexible but I still wouldn't recommend it for a really small child as I think they would chew the woolly hair even though there is no age limit on the tag, we did have to stop her chewing the hair a couple of times but she soon got the idea.
The toy is of great quality she still returns to it now along with all the other characters and it is always on her bed at bedtime, none of the stitching has frayed and the toy is still surprisingly clean. I struggled to find these nearly 2 years ago and having looked on the Internet looks like they have stopped making them although you can still pick them in on the like of ebay.
