My Dora Links Doll

The NEWEST Cool Tech Toy by Mattel / Fisher Price Dora Links Doll (released on September 29, 2009). Dora Links can be found at Amazon.com and most toy stores. Fisher Price Dora Links Doll The Dora Links doll is the cornerstone of the new Dora's Explorer Girls collection for girls 5 - 10 years old. The collection features Dora Links, the innovative, interactive, computer-compatible doll depicting Dora as a slightly older girl; and her four best friends - Naiya, Emma, Kate and Alana. Together, they live in the robust online world of Puerto Verde, a fictional beachside city where the girls go to school, get involved in their community, help friends, and work together to keep their home clean and green.

This interactive doll will engage girls with the internet with her virtual capabilities. At www.DoraLinks.com, girls can explore, play games, customize and--most importantly--solve mysteries with Dora and her friends! Once the doll is linked to the computer via USB cable, girls can access Dora's brand-new, exclusive interactive online world. Through this exciting new innovation in computer-connected play, as girls are playing with Dora in her online world, they can customize their doll and watch as she magically transforms right before their eyes! For example, by changing the color of Dora's eyes online, the Dora Links doll magically changes as well or by changing the doll's hair length online - the physical doll's hair will also change!

The doll merges the virtual world with the physical doll to add a new dimension to play much like the Webkinz phenomenon. Plus, as girls explore and solve online mysteries (which will include Dora assuming a variety of disguises to add to the mystery), the doll's speech will change to correspond with their play. The Dora Links doll also has a magical alert system; she knows when new mysteries have been added to DoraLinks.com. Even when the child is away from the computer playing with the doll, she will let girls know what new things are happening on the website. This type of innovative toy has great appeal to the new millennia of technologically savvy kids. Fisher Price Dora Links Doll

We've found 10 of the hottest tech-related or tech-integrated toys.

Dora Links - An Aspiration for TWEENERS!!!

This Video gives a great perspective on CHANGE !

Dora Gets a Tween Makeover!

Sometimes change is difficult to bear especially when it comes to a loveable icon such as Dora the Explorer but as this video shows the beloved Dora will not change for the preschool television audience. Her wholesome, innocent character will still be there.

The new older version of Dora is offered for the young tweeners (ages 5-10) who have grown up with Dora the Explorer on their televisions but are now seeking an older, more mature doll to play with that represents the growth they too have experienced.

Little girls do grow up and so do dolls - apparently ! The new Dora Links doll will not be a part of the Nickelodeon TV programming and will live only within the virtual world of the computer and also in the hearts of the older Dora fans. This new doll, although controversial at first - is highly anticipated to serve the tweener market of young girls this holiday season.

Dora the Explorer GROWS UP !

Explore a New World with Dora

The Dora's Explorer Girls Collection and the Dora Links doll are based on the popular characters and storylines created by Nickelodeon and have been developed directly in response to consumer field research by Nickelodeon and Mattel.

After extensive research with parents and their daughters, Nickelodeon and Mattel have decided to create this new line of age-appropriate dolls that is infused with the Dora the Explorer 'difference': adventure, learning, empowerment and teamwork combined with the traditional play patterns that girls love (hair, pretend play, and dress up) with the added element of computer technology and interaction that today's girls just love!

BEYOND THE BACKPACK:

Since its launch on Aug. 14, 2000, Dora the Explorer has emerged as a global phenomenon and ranks among the top-rated shows in major television markets worldwide. The show is seen in more than 140 markets around the world and is translated in more than 28 languages.

Spanning Nick's brand portfolio with on-air, online and local community events, Nick's plans for Dora's anniversary include:

'Beyond the Backpack":
Just as Dora the Explorer's Backpack keeps Dora prepared for each adventure, preschoolers deserve to be well-prepared for their first school experience with the resources, skills and support needed to help ensure a successful start to their education.
·
"Beyond the Backpack" will help provide parents, educators and the community at large with tools and information to engage in activities that support educating kids in areas critical to school success: social skills and emotional intelligence; early literacy and math ability; in-school involvement; and health and wellness basics.

The PSA campaign with Salma Hayek Pinault and Dora will bow on Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Nick at Nite beginning in April, to raise awareness for "Beyond the Backpack."

The site also will feature downloadable activities, like basic ABC's and 123's worksheets, and Dora the Explorer storybooks featuring the same educational curricula as the award-winning TV program.

· The site will additionally include links to relevant articles on subjects such as social and emotional skills, early literacy and math skills and health and wellness. Nickelodeon also plans to commission new articles by experts that will be available on the site and will be linked to Nickelodeon's ParentsConnect
