I was sent the Carmella apple candy locks doll to review.
The first thing that struck me was how tiny she is, Carmella apple is wearing pink roller boots, she can move from the waist and has flexible arms.
What Carmella apple and the other candy locks dolls lack in size make up for by the amount of hair that they have; mine has yellow and pink LONG hair (I have never seen so much hair on a doll before) the hair smells of candy floss and can be styled with the accompanying pink and yellow hair grips and hair twirler.
Caitlin, age 7, loved the candy locks doll, she had fun plaiting her hair and said that it smelt great.
, .
There are 20 different candy locks dolls to collect , they are recommended for age 5 years plus ( as the hair does come out while styling it could be a choking hazard for younger children)
.
Plaiting and styling the hair helps with a child’s dexterity and will develop fine motor skills
. This will be will be a popular gift this Christmas, I’m sure.
I would like to thank Caitlin ans Susie for their help with this review.
Disclosure: I was gifted the product for the purpose of the review, but all opinions are my own.
The dolls retail for £9.99 and can be purchased from all good toy retailers.
As always questions and comments are welcome.
Until next time.

These look so cute, I can’t wait until my two are old enough to play with toys like this!
Gosh what an unusual doll. All that hair! I can imagine what a lot of fun any child would have styling her hair. As you’ve said this doll would be a lovely for a Christmas present
Great little toys. I look forward to the day my 2 year old can play with this sort of toy. #globalblogging
Oh that hair looks amazing, hours of fun! #Globalblogging
That is a whole lot of hair, which means hours of fun for any aspiring hairdresser. I know my girls would have loved these when they were little.

Hello, just popping back with #StayClassyMama and still astonished by how much hair that doll has!
They are tiny aren’t they, like little fairies with candy floss hair, we have one and they are such good quality
Oh my goodness, my daughter would love these dolls! So much hair!!!!! #KidsandKreativity
Gosh, my two would love this! Thanks for linking up #twinklytuesday
My 4 year old would absolutely love these. I’ve seen them in stores recently but had no idea they had so much hair! #bloggerclubuk
My daughter has a couple of these and the hair is so soft and long: incredible! Thanks for linking up with #stayclassymama
I can see why children might like these, and the fine motor skills practise is a good point. Other than that, they’re not my cup of tea, but then again I’m not their target group either, lol x
