Dolls, Accessories, and Loyal Pals from Our Generation

We received free product to facilitate this review. No other compensation was received. All opinions expressed are my own.

We've already shared with you our love of Our Generation Dolls from Battat. We love the quality and style these affordable 18" posable dolls with accessories, clothing, and options galore! We have several of these dolls and they - no surprise - love to play together! 

Our newest friend is Celeste. Her long blonde hair is beautiful and she comes with a shirt, vest, pair of pants, underwear, sandals (jelly shoes!), and a hairclip. We love that each of these girls comes with clothing and accessories that are interchangeable. Our six-year-old loves to mix-and-match the dolls and their clothes.

Besides dolls, Our Generation has a large assortment of Loyal Pals - animal friends for your doll (and your child!) to love and care for. There are dogs, cats, and horses of all different colors, shapes, and sizes. 

Celeste came to us with the Lusitano Horse. This horse is all about the hair! Sometimes I (like all moms, I'm sure) cringe when I see dolls and animal toys with long hair. The horror of those unruly tangles haunts me in my sleep. We haven't had the tangle horrors with these dolls or this horse! 

Besides coming with a saddle, top strap and bridle, this beautiful horse comes with a comb, a colorful hair extension, 2 ribbon extensions, a hair bow, hair gems, and hair elastics. Also included is a book of instructions for creating amazing hairstyles! 

The Lusitano Horse is the perfect size for Celeste and her friends. She's made of high quality hard plastic that makes her really easy to groom and bathe with a wet cloth. My six-year-old daughter, our horse lover, has spent hours on this task - washing her body and then styling her hair with all the included accessories.

You'll see that Celeste changed her clothes before her ride. Here she's wearing the Well Groomed Deluxe Outfit Set and is ready to go! This outfit set is sold separately. Our Generation has a huge variety of outfits for all sorts of occasions, so whatever your child's favorite activity is, there's sure to be a way to customize their doll to match! These clothes are easy to change and really make doll-play fun.

We knew we loved Our Generation before we met Celeste and her Loyal Pal, the Lusitano Horse, and our feelings are even stronger now! We love the quality, affordability, accessibility, quality, and style of these products. And, of course, we love that for every Our Generation doll, outfit, or accessory sold, a portion of sales goes to Free The Children's Power of a Girl Initiate to help provide girls in developing countries and education.

B. Baby and Our Generation Toys from Battat

We received free product to facilitate this review. No other compensation was received. All opinions expressed are my own.

We love to share with you our favorite high-quality products - but when our favorites have a powerful cause behind them, we're even more proud to share. There are two lines of products from our friends at Battat that we've been recently introduced to, and a portion of every purchase you or your child makes in these product lines goes to an amazing organization called Free The Children.

Free The Children empowers people - especially children - to change the world. Free the Children builds schools, and strengthens villages through healthcare, water programs, and alternate income projects. So far, Free The Children has been able to help build 650 schools in communities all over the world - providing education to 50,000 children every day!

Here are some of our new favorites from Battat...

Our littlest has been enjoying some B. Baby toys!

B. toys - and more specifically B. Baby toys - are beautiful, high-quality, unique toys that you and your little one are sure to love. You'll notice that their designs, colors, and styles aren't typical, but they certainly are both peaceful and playful! Even the packaging of B. toys is different. You won't find packaging that is difficult to open or that makes a mess all over your floor. B. toys uses recycled - and recyclable materials, uses only soy-based inks, and does their best to package toys in containers that you'll want to reuse.

Wee B. Ready Toy Set

The Wee B. Ready toy set includes 3 squeaky, squishy blocks, a ring of 3 teethers, 2 spinning balls, a chubby, chiming zebra, and a drum shaped tub for storage.

Our little one has already fallen in love with the zebra and as she continues to grow I expect she will begin enjoying the other items just as much! I am in love with the colors, designs, and overall quality of this tub of toys. It is quite a step above many of the other baby toys we have around our house. The set is geared toward children aged newborn to three years.

Wonders Above Playmat

The Wonders Above playmat is beautiful. The quilted mat is so thick, soft, and cozy and the arc that you attach to it comes with dangling toys that will enthrall your baby. Our favorite is the soft, jingling hot air balloon. I adore the peaceful yet joyful colors of this set.

The playmat and accompanying dangling toys are so simple, fun, and easy to set up. The quilt is machine washable - and with a baby who poops, pees, and spits up on a seemingly non-stop basis, this is a huge plus for our family! The quilt also has a non-slip backing to help it stay put so you and your baby won't be slipping and sliding on hardwood floors. All the pieces fold easily back into the original package for easy storage. This playmat is geared toward children aged newborn to 18 months.

While little sister has been enjoying her B. Baby toys, big sister has been enjoying some special treats from Our Generation!

Our Generation Dolls and Accessories, similar to B. toys, are packaged in recycled, recyclable materials and label with soy-based inks. The toys themselves are geared toward your doll-loving little ones. My five year old daughter is a huge fan!

Our Generation Dolls

Vienna is one of many, many doll options from Our Generation. This 18" posable doll comes with removable clothing, and there are tons of accessories available for purchase to go along with her, including extra clothing sets, pets, and more.

Large dolls like Vienna are a big hit with my daughter and her playmates these days and I was pleased to be introduced to the Our Generation brand of dolls. We love the quality, style, and affordability of Vienna, her friends, and all the accessories that go along with them.

Ride in Style Scooter

This Ride in Style Scooter is just one many accessories that go along with Our Generation dolls. It truly has fun and adventure written all over it. It comes complete with a helmet and seatbelt for your doll's safe travels!

Cute as Pie Kitchen Playset

This Cute as Pie Kitchen Playset comes complete with everything your doll friends need to cook and serve dinner and dessert! It includes pots, pans, olive oil, vinegar, napkins, a scale, fruit, and more! It's the perfect set to encourage imaginative play between your child and their doll friends. My daughter loves to have her doll friends visit each other's homes for cooking classes!

We have absolutely fallen in love with the fun, charm, affordability, and quality of the Our Generation products. We even purchased a super cute boxer puppy for part of a friend's birthday gift just yesterday! One of our favorite aspects of this line of toys is that a portion of each purchase of Our Generation items goes toward Free The Children's Power of a Girl Initiative - helping provide girls in developing countries an education - the most powerful tool in the world for escaping poverty.

Both of these toy lines - B. toys and Our Generation - are available at Target. We highly recommend them based on their quality, uniqueness, and affordability!

Li'l Woodzeez - Our New Favorite Friends!

We were provided with free product to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are our own.

We always keep our eyes open for products that really mesh with our family - things that will be loved well and used well, and things that we can't wait to share with our friends... and at this time of year, the type of things that we think you will for sure want to add to your gift-giving lists!

We are so excited to introduce to you our new favorite friends - Li'l Woodzeez!

Li'l Woodzeez are the most precious little animal friends. They are manufactured and designed by Battat. According to their website, they come from Honeysuckle Hollow where all the woodland creatures work together to take care of each other and their environment. There are several families in Honeysuckle Hollow and we've invited a few into our home this fall.

I'm pleased to introduce you to the Hoppingood Rabbit Family...

and the Waterwaggle Beaver Family!

Just like my kindergartener, these friends have been keeping busy at the Honeysuckle Schoolhouse with Mimi and Benjamin Handydandy from the Mouse Family.

There is nothing not to love about these little friends. They are adorable with sweet little details like pink bellies on the rabbits and flat tails on the beavers. They are soft, posable, and have removable and interchangeable clothing. They encourage imaginative play, foster positive values, and once you have one family, you're going to want to collect them all!

The Li'l Woodzeez family sets each come with a sweet book that tells about their adventures as they fulfill their role in the community. For instance, the Hoppingood Rabbit Family are farmers and the Waterwaggle Beaver Family runs a launderette! Everyone has an important job and every day is full of adventure - just like in our family, and I'm sure yours too!

The Honeysuckle Schoolhouse swings open and closed, is great for storage of animals and accessories, and is totally portable. The doors open and close and it even has a swing! As I mentioned earlier, The Honeysuckle Schoolhouse comes with Mimi and Benjamin from the Handydandy Mouse Family.

The Honeysuckle Schoolhouse does not come with furniture or accessories but these can be purchased separately in the Classroom & Playground Set. In this set you'll find the sweetest things including a chalkboard, abacus, desk, lunch boxes, books, a slide, seesaw, and even a graduation cap and gown! It's a 20-piece set and our kindergartener loves the adventures she can create with these additions to the Schoolhouse.

Just like in people-school, the Li'l Woodzeez enjoy both classroom learning...

and fun on the playground!

Li'l Woodzeez are high quality, creative, adorable, affordable, and make great gifts - for your own family or for a friend! You can find them at your local Target store or online at either Target or Amazon.

We truly love the Li'l Woodzeez and can't wait to continue adding to our collection of families, houses, and accessories. We are looking forward to having an entire town of Li'l Woodzeez soon! We love to play with them, read about them, and imagine what it would be like to really live in Honeysuckle Hollow with our animal friends.

You can view all of the products offered in the Li'l Woodzeez line on their website. Check them out - these should be considered a must-have on your next birthday, special occasion, or holiday shopping list!
