It sounds like the perfect gift to me, even if they don't love-love them forever. Getting a much wished for gift at their ages will be something to remember for a life time.
I still remember a few of mine, and how wonderful opening them felt. Baby-alive and an Easy-bake oven, I was in gift heaven :hurray: . Confession, I've purchased a number of things for my kids and even nieces and nephews that left me scratching my head or knowing they would end up in the donation box; but they made them happy and that was worth the money to me.
