Ballet-core may be sweeping mom’s closet, but it’s also about to make a seriously grand playroom entrance with Just Play’s adorable Disney Junior Minnie Mouse Ballerina Butterfly Plush!
This plush is inspired by the Disney Junior Minnie’s Bow-Toons series and features interactive play elements and a soft, plush head. But center stage here is Minnie’s spinning, twirling tutu; when kids press the button on Minnie’s chest, the tulle tutu lights up and Minnie sings signature tunes.
To state the obvious, the plush scores excellent marks in the aesthetics category. Minnie’s tutu and butterfly-themed headgear will enchant any and all would-be Balanchine ballerinas. Flashing lights, Minnie’s song “Just Like a Butterfly,” and dance moves (hidden wheels also allow Minnie to dance on flat surfaces) enhance her delightful ensemble.
At $39.99, the pricing for this toy is on-pointe if you’re looking for that one special holiday gift for an aspiring ballerina or ballerino in your life.
The interactive plush is intended for kids ages 3 and up, but it has dance-along appeal for kids even upwards of 6 years old. Especially if she is treasured, this Minnie toy has a standard of quality and durability that will make her a prominent part of kids’ toy chest for years.
As far as potential negatives go, this toy may induce ballet-obsession and make annual trips to The Nutcracker compulsory. But other than that, if a $40 toy is in your price range, the drawbacks are happily hard to find.

Kids can press the light-up butterfly on Minnie's chest to activate lights, a spinning tutu, Minnie Mouse phrases, and the song “Just Like a Butterfly.” Squeeze the butterfly on Minnie's bow for a light show and more twirling.
