As the mother of a little Latina, I’m so excited that Fisher-Price and Nickelodeon launched the beautiful line of Dora toys, including the adorable Dora and Friends toys. The Dora toys at available at Walmart, but make your life easy and buy online at Amazon instead. Who needs that holiday madness anyway, right?
Dora has been a favorite since I was a kid and I love that this line of toys embraces elements of our Latino culture and language. But, Dora is not a little girl anymore! She’s all grown up and has a beautiful rainbow of new friends that join along with her adventures.
Here’s our best-of list of the Dora toys we love, including the adorable Dora and Friends toy line.

Talking Dora and Smartphone
Talking Dora and Smartphone toy is modern and relevant. Dora's phone comes "installed" with The Map App (how cute is that?!) and communicates with the life-size smartphone that comes with the doll. The smartphone and Dora doll light up and speak 50 different bilingual phrases between the two.

An actual functioning backpack, this Dora toy is so cute! It includes Dora's explorer map, made of vinal, easy to wipe clean. The convenient handle and adjustable straps make for comfy carrying.
Dora and Friends: Emma
The Dora and Friends toy character dolls are so beautiful! This doll is Emma, but the whole set of friends (including Naiya, Alana, and Kate) stand 8-inches, come with an e-book and adventure charm that can be used with the Dora and Friends charm bracelets and also with the Talking Dora and Smartphone! Just place the charm into your magical smartphone to hear ringtones and phrases.

Dora and Friends Toys
Check out this video for more reasons on why I love this new Dora and Friends toy line from Fisher Price! From when my younger siblings when kids, I am happy to see a more inclusive variety of toys available for my little mixed Latina. Sure, the bells and whistles of interactive technology is wonderful, but there’s truly nothing like playing with a doll that mimics a child’s cultural and racial environment.
