Nov 28, 2016 at 2:17 amThese gifts would be perfect for my daughters. I have 2 that are 17 months apart and they would enjoy playing with any of these toys, especially the Doc McStuffins toy. They pretend play doctor and patient all the time. We bought some bandages from the dollar store and bandaids and they stick them all over themselves. So cute. Thank you the opportunity.
