Pinypon Dolls Make Their Way Overseas

After attending a luncheon to learn about Pinypon customized mini dolls, I was ready to jump into the mini caravan and travel to the Pinypon world complete with trips to New York, Paris and London.
Famosa, a leading European based toy company, developed Pinypon to provide children with an easier way to imagine and create with mini dolls for their little hands. The dolls’ interchangeable figures enable children to create new characters and stories. Each doll has removable hair, head, torso, and legs, so children can easily change their dolls’ facial expression, hair color or outfit by easily snapping different parts together. The dolls’ heads also open up to serve as a storage space - an unusual yet practical solution for keeping the doll and her accessories together.
Popular in both Spain and Italy, Pinypon is now introducing their toys in the U.S. In addition to the brand’s attention to creative and imaginative children, they also focus on worldliness. Pinypon does not name their dolls, since every doll’s character is unique to its owner, and by buying dolls from different countries, like France, children learn about the culture there and even how subway system works by reading the mini subway map. For more information on Pinypon, visit http://Pinypon.com and check out their free printable coloring pages and interactive games. You can also keep with up the latest Pinypon news on their Facebook page and Twitter @PinyponUSA.

Isabella has a very unique and creative ability to make all of her toys become part of her everyday routine. She will incorporate each animal or pal into the shows she watches or invite them to dinner and even make them all "her baby". We love watching and playing with Isabella has her creativity soars and she makes friends with her little ones.

When I get home from work, I engage my daughter in a creative art project so that I can get dinner started.
We've always kept all kinds
We've always kept all kinds of art supplies available, even small tools. I allowed the kids to do their thing and then I also had crafts I would do with them. We've made everything from forts to small playhouses and lots of our our play furniture, oh and our own version of play mats for cars and trucks.
Allowing to express their
Allowing to express their ideas when we play or when we read with direct questions, like "How do you think we could build this?" or "Let's think of something that could get Lightening McQueen out of this situation!"
Just allowing children to express themselves and be patient with what they say at their pace. This is just one of the ways to foster creative and free thinking.
Thank you for this mesmerizing set review!

My daughter has a big box of little toys under her bed and she plays with the altogether in different ways.
I encourage and foster
I encourage and foster creative playtime for my children by allowing them to have access to the make-believe chest and our creativity drawers in our pantry. At any time during the day they are free to get out paints, crayons, stamps, foam pieces, feathers, play dough, google eyes, stickers, craft sticks,(you name and it is in our creativity drawers), and create whatever their hearts desire, their imagination is the limit! Often times they stop at the make-believe chest before heading into the kitchen to attack the creativity drawers. So it isn’t unusual to come down in the morning and see a Super Hero, a Princess, and a Rock Star (guitar and all) creating a prehistoric forest with a pink play dough castle in the center. It can get messy at times but I wouldn't have it any other way!
My kids love to pretend.
My kids love to pretend. They play house, school, restaurant and other themes. They use toys and items from around the house in creative ways.

We have a huge bin filled with art paper, construction paper, pipe cleaners, stick on eyes, paints, crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, glitter, stencils, stickers...... SO MANY DIFFERENT art supplies..... I just get the bin out, spread some newspaper on the counter, add some old magazines/comics for inspiration, and let them have at it....... usually I will give them a theme to work with like "Mexico"... then I'll put some salsa music on the stereo, make them a tray of nachos.... it keeps them busy for HOURS!!!!! :)

I expose her to many interesting things and places but where play is concerned, I largely just let her do her thing. Play is play, kids are naturally creative and curious. She amazes me sometimes with the things she come up with!

I sit back and let my daughter just play. If she wants to put neon pink shoes on her doll when the outfit really calls for brown, so what? If she decides to color the puppy in her coloring book green instead of a more neutral, natural tone, so what? She is using her imagination, and that's what is important. :)
Adorable!

I love to get out pieces of material and glue and paints and clay and playdough . We even make our own playdough and they make their own crystal garden. We make slime and always look for new things to create. We also make paper dolls and clothes for them to wear! We all have so much fun!

My almost 5 year old daughter
My almost 5 year old daughter is in love with "pretend" play. She is always grabbing something and pretending to be a mom, sister, doctor, dancer etc. She loves playing with Barbies, Strawberry Shortcake, Little Pet Shops and My Little Ponies. This new offering will allow her to really increase her creativity since she can change them based on her moods / imagination. I would love to win this for her. And her birthday is coming up :O)

One thing I try to do a lot
One thing I try to do a lot of with my kids is to help them play creatively with their toys. Sure, my son has a bin of Star Wars guys and my daughter has a drawer of My Little Ponies - but I sit with them and encourage them to play with them together, in one big crazy world with animals and Smurfs and Strawberry Shortcake and the Seven Dwarfs and Trolls all living together and interacting in completely new ways.

This would be a great toy for my kids. They love to play with toys that require them to use their imagination.
I'm an artist and art
I'm an artist and art teacher. So I always buy real supplies versus "kid" supplies. They're better quality and less frustrating to work with. For instance, real watercolors have true color whereas ones like Crayola produce faded washed out color. This way kids also learn how to properly take care of brushes and other art tools. And I'm not afraid of a lil mess! Freedom to do/make what you like goes hand in hand with creativity. :)
