Rainbow Brite, the toys big in the 80’s, are back on the market, revamped and repackaged, and I think it is great. Too many toys today are marketed for the politically correct. Too few toys are designed for the little girls who will one day become the mothers of the next generation.
Dolls have a real place in our little ones’ growing up, learning, and dealing to cope with life’s experiences. They show their feelings, their love and hates, and their frustrations in play. We should encourage them to play with their toys, their dolls more, and the Tv and video games less.
Rainbow Brite means courage, kindness, hope. She is happy, empowered, imaginative–just the things I encouraged my own little girl to be. I received a fun CD full of Rainbow Brite games and activities. Boy the CD and game will be great for traveling with my toddler grandchild. At home you can enjoy the Rainbow Brite website, which contains games, activities, animation and downloads. The new Rainbow Brite and her friends look like they’ll be a hit with my Princess.

As a kid I did not particularly like dolls, I would cut all the hair off, including my rainbow brites. Fortunately my daughter loves dolls, and plays well with them. She’d love it. Thanks!

I would love to win this for my niece who is 4 years old. My memory of Rainbow Brite is my sister (who is 13 years younger than me) playing with Rainbow Brite dolls. I think she’d love to play this with her daughter. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

When my little sister was 6 my Mom made her a Rainbow Brite costume. Being 14 years older then her I was lucky enough to take her out TnTing. We had so much fun and everyone loved her costume.

My memory of rainbow Brite was the collection of Rainbow Brite Dolls I had and the “My Little Ponies”. I would play with them for hours outside on the “shady side of the house” that had the best grass and shade. because I was an only child I spent a lot of time inventing games to play alone.
