These are too cute. We used for Halloween, although they can be purchased anytime. They can be walked, that's the best part! The kids love these, sometimes the dogs but overall, fun purchase and they last.
4 Pcs Walking Cat Foil Balloons for Kids
This can be used inside or outside; we chose inside because everything gets nasty outside in FL. Given that, she has played with this nonstop and it's not too big to take up space, can be moved easy. It gave her the confidence to go outside to a real playground and sit up to go down the slide. Overall good buy, still lasting. Now dolls go down slide
BIERUM 9-in-1 Toddler Slide w/ Toys
This thing was so cute, daughter puts everything in it to shop. She goes back and forth with it, heavy for days, lets go a few days, comes back again. She loved the baby doll, we act like we feed it and give it milk and stuff so win win you get both.
Lissi Shopping Cart with 16" Baby Doll
This is a little big but worth it because my daughter plays almost every day. I go in each night and setup up the doll house, arrange the items, put new toys in, etc and she enjoys that because it makes it new every day. We don't even use barbies or dolls, we'll use animals, cars, we put a horse in there, whatever. She loves when I put her small dogs on the stairs, like they go up. Anyways, overall worth it. Sturdy, every day play, every kid loves it when they come over. Good buy
KidKraft Majestic Mansion Wooden Dollhouse

Delta Children Serta Perfect Sleeper Pink Sofa

I love all their products! I actually started oil pulling a long time ago and feel it really does do some deep toxin removal but from your body, not just teeth.
