I had dolls but never really played with them. I still have most of them and they are in excellent shape. My nieces are really fascinated with American Girl dolls right now. They also love Cabbage Patch and other baby dolls. I just bought my nephew magformers. They are shapes with magnets in them so you can build different 3-D things with them. He loves them. Here's a link to what I bought on QVC.
