Finding Doll Props: Kinder Joy

This post may contain affiliate links, please check out my disclosures page for more info.  Thanks!

Sometimes Anna’s search for appropriate doll props takes her in odd directions.

Such as with theses egg shaped packages.

These are called Kinder Joy.  Anna picked them up from her store, but they are available at a wide variety of grocery stores.  It seems many humans pick them up for their children for Easter and Christmas as a delightful treat.

Let us take a pick inside one.

An open Kinder Joy package, you can see the delicious looking cream and chocolate.

On one side of the pack is this delicious looking dessert.  It consists of chocolatey wafer balls floating in rich cream.  Anna says the cream is bit too rich for her taste, however her nephew adores it.

The other side of the package contains a small unassembled toy, with instructions.  Oh, dear.

Well, let us get started with this, right Sakura?

Hmm, is this piece suppose to go here?  And then here?  Hmm.

“Look Miss Ghost Lady, it’s done!  Isn’t it so cool?  Can I play with it?!”

Well it appears to be some sort of space ship with a launching device.

And as Sakura has demonstrated, it is simple for a child to assemble.

“Look Yuki, isn’t is so awesome?  Do you want to hold it too?  Want to play now?  What’s cream?”

Anyway, inside the second Kinder Joy egg is another unassembled toy.

I’m not even going to bother with the instructions, here you go Sakura dear.

“Yay!”

Once assembled, it appears to be a toy robot figure.

I’m not entirely convinced these Kinder Joy toys are suitable for ball jointed dolls, but Sakura seems to enjoy them.  And she has shown a remarkable aptitude for building sets.

“Yuki, you can hold this one too.  Do you think it will fit on my train?  Does it want to ride my train?  Do you want to play with my train?”

Now all that is left to do is tidy up, all this plastic packaging lying about, including these egg halves.

However, I can’t help but wonder if Anna could reuse them to make something doll size, such has some lovely hats for myself. 

Alas, that is for another day.  Be at peace my dear readers

Pleasant comments are always welcome and appreciated.

But please, no anti-doll comments. They are unnecessary and a bit rude. We understand that some people find dolls creepy or weird, but this is a "doll blog" that is intended for those who enjoy dolls. If you dislike dolls that much, don't waste your time reading doll blogs.
