I ordered this for my 5 year old granddaughter for Easter. She doesn't like sweets, especially chocolate, which makes me wonder what I did wrong, so I'm always looking for something else to put in her basket. This doll was exactly what I was looking for. There was sawdust in the dolls but I just used furniture polish and a feather duster and brushed away the excess dust. The last two dolls are a bit tight and difficult to open, but I sanded them down a bit and now they open with no problem. The colors are bright and the little faces are so cute! The smallest doll is very small, so I probably wouldn't give it to a child under the age of five or to anyone who might put something in their mouth as it can cause choking. The paint is smooth and shiny, none of the dolls had any chips or blisters in the paint. I liked them so much I can order another set!
