Bath time has always been popular at our house, so my girls were elated when I showed them Avery, a Moxie Girlz Bubble Bath Surprise!
Each Moxie Girl doll has her own personality and sports preference. Avery, pictured, likes gymnastics…very popular here since the Olympics. Knowing that the line encourages individuality and confidence made me feel pretty good about my girls playing with her.
The Bubble Bath Surprise doll sports three looks: a glittery pink leotard, a flower petal skirt, and a large foam skirt (you can layer both skirts also).
One important element for me is whether or not my girls can manipulate a toy by themselves. The first skirt attaches with a small square of velcro. The larger foam skirt is a little trickier. Harper, 3, was able to get it off with a few tugs. Georgia, almost 5, was able to get it both on and off. The feet pop off which makes getting the skirt on easier, but you do run the risk of losing the feet.
Each doll comes with a small pet. Avery came with a catfish, whose pink mermaid tail fits in a x-shaped cut in the foam skirt. Also included is a small bottle of bubbles. The bubble’s topper was a cute seashell that also fit within the skirt. Even after the bubbles were gone (which was less than three minutes), we kept the bubble jar because its topper made a cute accessory.
Once in the water, the doll floats without sinking. The website cites the skirt as her reason for floating, but she stayed afloat in our tub without it. The doll and accessories dried pretty quickly so she got to make her reappearance on dry land.
Overall, this was a great bath toy for my doll-loving preschoolers.

Here too! I’ve never thought of bubbles being a bath time toy, but my girls would fall over with excitement if they got to blow them inside.
