This is a collaborative post. Super Cute Little Babies gifted for review
Have you heard of Super Cute Little Babies yet? If you haven’t, chances are you certainly will on the run up to Christmas. Super Cute Little Babies are dolls with a difference – not only are they, non surprisingly super cute, but they also come with a really important eco friendly message too. Each doll in the range comes with an alter ego – a superhero that has set out to save the planet by changing behaviours and encouraging sensible and sustainable choices.
We were super excited to put the new dolls through their paces. Here’s what you need to know.
What are Super Cute Little Babies?
The Super Cute Little Babies are powerful yet adorable superhero babies who are on a mission to save the planet!
Each 2 in 1 doll can rapidly be transformed from baby to superhero when she drinks from the magic bottle.
When she drinks, the symbol on her chest will light up, letting you know it’s time to make the transformation. Simply reverse bib and release her cape, pop on her tutu skirt, turn her shoes inside out and finish off her super hero costume by adding the mask.
Children will love caring for their new friend by combing her hair, popping the dummy in her mouth or feeding her with the bottle.
The Super Cute Little Babies are available in two sizes – the larger sized 26cm dolls and smaller 12cm collectibles and come in four characters to collect Sofi, Gabi, Sisi and Kala – each of which has their own eco focused mission.
Who are the four Super Cute Little Baby Characters?
Sofi
Sofi loves plants, flowers and trees, enjoying watching them grow and smelling their scents. She has the Power of the Flora, which allows her to grow large plant stems and reach corners that nobody else can.
Gabi
Gabi is very cheerful and full of light. She is always happy and loves to collect sunglasses. Playing outdoors in daylight is one of her favourite activities. When she snacks from her magic bottle, it activates the Power of the Sun allowing her to heat anything with her hands!
Sisi
Sisi loves nature, animals and insects, with butterflies being her absolute favourite! With the wind she feels free and agile, and Sisi uses it to lift and move objects at high altitude. She loves playing with her friends and is always ready for missions.
Kala
Kala is a fan of water sports and finds surfing and diving fascinating, but she also loves the sea and uses her powers to control the water, putting out fires and refreshing any animal that needs it.
Our experience of Super Cute Little Babies
Whats in the box?
The large Super Cute Little Babies dolls comes with
- Doll (in a choice of four characters)
- Bottle
- Comb
- Brush
- Dummy
- Instruction leaflet
We received one of the 26cm Super Cute Little Babies Dolls and Neve chose Kala, mostly because she liked her hair style, but also because she liked the super power relating to water. Whilst playing with Kala we were able to discuss how saving water is important, particularly at the moment. We talked about turning the tap off when you brush your teeth, reducing the length of time we spend in the shower, and even discussed hosepipe bans in Summer and whilst they are important. She was a great conversation starter for my six year old.
Kala the Super Cute Little Babies doll comes with a number of accessories including a comb, brush and bottle. There is supposed to be a dummy as well but unfortunately ours was missing on arrival. Thankfully it didn’t detract from the Neve’s enjoyment too much.
Super Cute Little Babies dolls require two triple A batteries which aren’t included and you’ll need a small screwdriver to pop open the battery casing at the back.
Once you’ve inserted the batteries. the circle ‘button’ to Kala’s chest will light up, and Kala will play music and sounds – advising that it’s time to transform from baby to superhero.
How does this 2-in-1 doll transform?
It’s worth mentioned that the transformation process is a manual one, but for Neve that was part of the enjoyment. First she popped on Kala’s tutu skirt and turned her socks inside out – swapping them from basic white booties to more glittery blue superhero shoes.
Then she unfastened Kala’s bib, and popped out the cape, which had been tucked safely into the back of her bib. I then helped her tie this loosely around the dolls neck to create her cape. Last but not least, Neve popped on Kalas’ blue superhero mask, which she was able to do without assistance, simply slotting either side into the small indents either side of her face.
Transforming is very much led by the child and younger children may need some help. Particularly when tucking the cape away back into the rear of the bib. It took all of a little while to figure out how to do this, as this wasn’t instantly clear from the instructions.
Overall thoughts
Neve really liked Kala the Super Cute Little Babies doll – in particular the transformation process and the adjusting of clothes to create her new identity. The lights and sounds are a little limited, and Neve kept pressing the button expecting it to do something magical. I do think more could have been made of the interactive elements to share some eco friendly facts and prolong the game play, but that’s just a parent’s perspective.
Neve loves her big eyes and bright colours as well as styling her hair using the comb included and she is poseable, so can easily be change from sitting to standing depending on play.
