Wholesome Groovy Girls

Many of the dolls sold today seem as if they were plucked off of Rodeo Drive with their flashy, sexy attire and placed in attention getting packaging to make young girls beg to own one or six. I have quite a hard time finding any desire to purchase for my daughter a doll that is dressed in something that I would NEVER want to see my daughter wear, until she is at least in her twenties.

That’s why I was thrilled to discover a wonderful line of dolls, Groovy Girls.

Groovy Girls dolls are sweet, funky and fun. Just like every girl, each doll is unique, and can be customized with hip, changeable fashions and accessories.

Groovy Girls dolls provide a safe, appropriate way for young girls to experience fun, fashion-filled doll play while promoting values and attitudes that are aspirational and age-appropriate.

Groovy Girls RSVP
In celebration of the 10th birthday of the Groovy Girls brand, Manhattan Toy is introducing the Groovy Girls RSVP.com Collection, complete with eight dolls and five pets.

With bright colors, fun attire and super cute pets, the RSVP dolls are ready to provide fun play for your daughter. But it doesn’t stop there, the RSVP girls are also having an online party. In the virtual world, your daughter can create her own character, decorate her Mod Pod, mingle at the Posh party, practice moves on the Dance Floor, play fun games and much more.

Each Groovy Girls RSVP doll and pet also comes with a special code that will provide your daughter with extra fun.

  71. Eight dolls would be great for the six little girls I get gifts for, plus a best friend (or mom) or two. I posted your button and linked to your giveaways post.

  84. Such a relief from not-so-wholesome alternatives! It would be a pleasure to give this prize to one of my granddaughters! I signed up for the newsletter.

  92. Love these – where have I been for the past 10 years?! Yeah, I’m linked, subscribed, and buttoned on my sidebar. Count me in – my 9 year old would LOVE these!

  130. Cute dolls! My lil girl is really getting into dolls now and she’d love these! If not, I have a niece who will be happy with these as a Christmas present too! =)

  141. I love these dolls and would like to get them for Little Bear. I think they are SO much better than Barbie!

  153. I guess I’ve been living in a hole because just the other day a friend was trying to explain Groovy Girls to me and I was clueless. Now here you are giving them away and they would be perfect for my daughter!

    Your button is on my sidebar: SAHM Ramblings

  171. It is hard to find a doll set that encompasses the values of our multicultural family. This will be a great learning tool and toy for our girls (all from different racial/ethnic backgrounds). Thanks for the wonderful contest.

  176. The Groovy Girls are so cute and I know a little girl who would love them.

  204. My daughter would be thrilled to win these. And, it may be against all laws of Groovy Girls collectors BUT she’d probably want to share part of the set with her closest friends… 🙂

  227. Hey!! I love groovy girls!! They definitely are a lot more modest than those other dolls out there. Thanks!!
    P.S. I don’t have a blog, but believe me, I told everyone!!

  241. My daughter has one Groovy Girl and she just loves it, so I know she would really love this package….so generous!!

  262. I subscribe to your feed. Please enter me for this. My dd would love them! I’m going to show her the website too.

  263. This looks amazing! I too am horrified by the dolls I see on the shelves (and if any of them end up in my daughter’s hands for Christmas I’ll be returning them faster than a girl gets picked up on Hollywood and Vine…), so these are a refreshing alternative that is just as fun for my daughter. Thank you!

  282. These are very cool! As I was dressing my daughter’s plastic dolls today, I wondered, “Why do dolls need a womanly shape anyway?”

  293. These are awesome!! They are so much better than the Bratz type dolls that we have banned around here 🙂

  300. How cute! I’m always looking for fun & safe sites for my 7 yr old to play on. She would love these dolls.

  346. I would love to be able to share these dolls with some of the little girls that I see for physical therapy. These are wonderful dolls.

  357. OMG! I would be thrilled to win these dolls for my four year old granddaughter – I certainly couldn’t afford to purchase them. It’s been a tough year for me this year; lots of health issues and crummy prescription drug plan. So to be able to surprise my granddaughter(s) with these dolls and their pets this Christmas would be so wonderful. I know they would be thrilled.

  379. Oh my! My niece would fall over if I gave her 8 groovies for Christmas. She really loves these dolls. The dolls are usually nekkid or in some state of half dressed around our house. The girls get a doll and immediately want to change their clothes.

  388. we love groovy girls around here. Would love to win.
