Amazon.com Product Description
Everyone knows that little girls love to dress up their Barbie dolls for a date with Ken, a night out with girlfriends, or to just go shopping. Now those same girls can ready themselves instead at this Island Princess vanity. At 32" tall, it's the perfect size for a young girl to sit down in front of using the included stool, and the various secret compartments, hidden treasures, and centered mirror will provide hours of entertainment.

Inspired by the 2007 fall release of the Barbie as The Island Princess DVD movie (in which Barbie takes on the role of Princess Rosella), this vanity features a white top with scalloped edges and bright blue and lavender towers along the back that hold surprises. Compartments are hiding things like castle rooms, jewelry, and animal friends featured in the film. Pull out the center drawer and lower the mirror to discover Princess Rosella's room and hear music from the movie. Even the top of the vanity stool opens, making it the perfect place to stash the included hairbrush when it's not being used.

Two in one fun allows girls to not just primp and role play, but to also use the vanity to reenact scenes from the movie, which includes new songs, with their favorite Barbie. Dolls are not included with this vanity set, but Princess Rosella and Prince Antonio can be purchased separately.



The sit down vanity opens up to reveal castle rooms, a bed, animal friends, and other hidden treasures. View larger.


Stool opens up for hidden storage inside. View larger.

Castle vanity also comes with a hairbrush and animal friends from the movie.

4 out of 5 stars 2 Toys in 1   January 6, 2009
Maggie (Arkansas, USA)
I purchased this for my 4-year-old for Christmas. She absolutely loves it and plays with it all the time. It is a dual-purpose toy because not only can she sit at it and use her play makeup, she can also use it as a dollhouse for her Barbies. It definitely holds her attention, which is something I look for and it is well made. Overall, I believe it was a great purchase.


5 out of 5 stars Finally a toy that well made and just beautiful for any little girl!   December 27, 2008
Mom of four (MA)
I was so pleased to be able to find this vanity/playset. The newer ones are very dissapointing. This is much nicer than I had expected, I wish all toys were made with such attention to detail and mulitple function. The toy is as sturdy as it is lovely. It has so many accesories and hidden treasures that my 4 year old was thrilled. She discovered something new every time she played with it.... for days. For example, the roof tops lift and your little one will find hidden rings and a necklace to wear while she plays. It has plenty of storage in both the bench and a side hidden closet, and the china cabinet will really hold the dishes and tea cups. I don't know what team designed this toy, but THANK YOU! Please make more toys like this one, it is magnificent:o)


5 out of 5 stars The dream vanity   January 21, 2008
Yolanda C (California)
I think this has to be the best vanity for a four year old. Its two toys in one! When I see my four year old playing with the vanity I know I made a great purchase. She plays castle or she plays vanity and the special compartments make it extra fun! I love it.


4 out of 5 stars Island Princess Vanity   January 18, 2008
Amy Johnson (Aberdeen, SD)
My daughter was absolutely exstatic when she received this vanity from Santa. However, There is a lot of little detatchable pieces to keep track of if you have younger small children. And the collapsable "table" on the Vanity table doesn't stay up. However, This is a great toy with lots of surprises. Lots of buttons that play music. Very Nice for the money. Better than I expected.


5 out of 5 stars My daughter loves this vanity!!   January 18, 2008
J. wade
My daughter absolutely loves this vanity. She is 5. It did take a while to put together and there are a lot of pieces...but it was worth the effort. I recommend getting the Island Princess and Prince Antonio to complete the package. The vanity has a lot to do and probably is more complicated than a 5 year should have, but it will grow with her. I know she'll have it for a few years which is nice for any toy. It is plastic and not too durable so if your child isn't ruff, I think it will last.
