Hasbro Disney Princess Swimming Adventures Ariel Review

amomentwithfranca · 4 May 2018 · 16 Comments

My girls really like Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid. They have several Ariel toys. I guess the idea of her being a mermaid makes it even more magical for them. As part of Hasbro’s Toy Tribe, we have been sent a really lovely toy. It is the Disney Princess Swimming Adventures Ariel which is ideal for bath time, to play in the pool or at any place with water.

Hasbro Disney Princess Swimming Adventures Ariel Review

The Disney Princess Swimming Adventure Ariel swims on her own when placed in water. The movement of the doll’s tail and the fin is inspired by the magical movie moments of Ariel swiftly and fearlessly exploring the sea.

When we took her out of the packaging we saw that the tail was not in yet, so we had to assemble that which took us just a couple of minutes.

Sienna was desperate to try it at bath time but we realised we didn’t have batteries. It requires 2 x AAA batteries which are not included, so please bear this in mind. Because of this issue my girls couldn’t play with it straight away.

We got batteries the next day but we were going away for the weekend so we brought her with us as we knew the place we were going to had an indoor swimming pool so that would be the best place to test the doll.

This doll is very smart because it has two small sensors at the top of her tail so as soon as the water touches these she will start swimming. How cool is that?

We put it in the pool and we let her do her thing and it was great! My girls had a great time playing with the doll whilst we were in the pool.

You can see a short video I published on Twitter below! She is so adorable!

PRICE AND WHERE TO BUY

The Disney Princess Swimming Adventures Ariel has an RRP of £24.99 and you can buy her from any major retailers such as Amazon, Asda, Argos, Smyths, etc.

This doll is not suitable for children under 3 years without supervision.

OUR THOUGHTS

My girls really liked it. They have had so much fun with it. It is great to take her along to the swimming pool too but of course, it is very much ideal for bath time. The only thing I would say is that it would have been better if they would have included some accessories to go along with the doll. Apart from that, we really like the Disney Princess Swimming Adventures Ariel.

Do your kids like bath toys? What do you think of the Disney Princess Swimming Adventures Ariel? Would your kids like it too? 

*Disclosure: we were sent a Disney Princess Swimming Adventures Ariel as part of the Hasbro Toy Tribe and for the purpose of this review. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    Really like it. Really good for encouraging the girls to swim. Bella will enjoy swimming along with her. Then Sienna will want to copy. She is lovely, great present for girls.

    This looks great and sounds reasonable value for money but like you say, no batteries AND no accessories takes the polish off a bit! Our 8yo is almost past the Disney princess stage but would’ve loved this before. Thanks for hosting #kcacols

✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling b ✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling breakfast, right? I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl
✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So ✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today? What are your plans? .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #sisterhood #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #westfield #westfieldlondon #londonkids
✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome

Ad PR Invite✨Matilda The Musical✨.I was so e Ad PR Invite✨Matilda The Musical✨.I was so excited to take Sienna to watch @matildathemusical at Cambridge Theatre in Covent Garden thanks to @londontheatre (swipe left until the end to see a short video of the stage beautifully decorated) 🎭.I have already seen this musical twice with Bella but it was finally the time to take Sienna now she is older. She is the No 1 fan of Matilda. She knows all the songs and dances so she was over the moon to watch it in person. Apparently, she would love one day to be in that stage too! Bless her! 🥰.Even though I have seen it before, each time has brought a different experience for me as they change/rotate the cast often so it feels like a new show watching a new Matilda each time. This is the type of show that you wouldn’t mind watch it many times! 😀.Useful Information:📍Cambridge Theatre, Earlham St, London WC2H 9HU (near Tube is Covent Garden)💰 From £20.00 – No fees⏰ RUNNING TIME 2 hours, 35 minutes (including 20 min interval)ℹ️ AGE RECOMMENDATION 6+.It is such a fantastic show. This cast is amazing! We were so impressed! We can definitely recommend you to go and watch it too!
