Fun Dora the Explorer Holiday Gifts
The best Dora games and gifts of 2009
Kids still love Dora the Explorer, whose educational and entertaining exploits have amused children for years. If you want to encourage kids to keep up with these cheerful, educational, and very wholesome adventures, here are some of the holiday's hottest Dora games and Dora toys.
1. Dora Links Doll
This older, pre-teen Dora follows her audience as they grow. She's more fashion doll than plushie, and when you plug her into the computer, you get access to an online area with tons of games and activities (much like the oh-so-popular webkinz).
2. Boots
Boots, Dora's monkey, is at least as popular as the pint sized detective. Kids love him and they get very excited about the idea of owning their own miniature monkey -- especially if he's soft, cuddly, and familiar from a TV show!
3. My Talking Backpack
The younger set will love My Talking Backpack, one of a number of Fisher Price Dora toys designed in bright colors and with excellent insight into what toddlers and kindergarten aged children love to play with.
4. Dora's House Game
There are an awful lot of Dora games out there, but this is one of the most fun. This Dora game has not only visual appeal but hours of gameplay to occupy Dora's many fans.
5. Diego Tough Trike
Not all of Dora's fans are girls, although boys tend to go for her cousin Diego. That's why Fisher Price makes the Diego Tough Trike, one of the fun and solid Dora toys for the younger crowd. Any boy loves playing with this one!
6. Go-Diego-Go Dino Transport
Another Fisher Price contribution to Dora the Explorer toys for boys. This one appeals to that dinosaur craze that seems to take over most young boys, and you may even find their older brothers (or Dads) playing with it when they think you're not looking.
Dora the Explorer is a hit this holiday season, so keep these Dora toys in mind as you finish up your holiday shopping.
