Ni Hao Kai Lan, the toys that inspired the image

Ni Hao Kai-Lan, the latest craze for little ladies, is now available at Target.

Yes, I must admit, I am one of those moms who will do anything to keep princesses and pink away from my daughter. Gasp! I know for some they share their daughters’ love of all things Disney, but I am one of those who runs from it! I am on the constant lookout for something different for my daughter and luckily she seems to share my love of the non-pink and gravitates to purple Hello Kitty and (because she has a brother) Transformers.  However, she does love this cute little girl who appears on Noggin and I thank my lucky stars there are still toys out there this cute!

2-pc. Toddler Girls Set $12.99

Ni Hao Kai Lan, which means “hello Kai Lan” in Mandarin Chinese, is now at Target! She is the 21st centuries’ new version of Dora!

Interchangeable Watch Set $10.99

Moderately priced toy sets, back-to-school back packs, dolls, and apparel are now at Target! My favorite item is the interchangeable digital watch set for $10.99 of Ni Hao Kai Lan, Rintoo and Tolee’s faces. The watch won’t be available for 2-6 weeks and it’s sure to be a collectors item! Check it out the latest girl craze by clicking Ni Hao Tarjay.
