A picture can be placed in each of the flat frames all of which fit into the bag. Designed for children 18 to 48 months old, the toy help the child with face recognition provides hide and seek play, as well as tactile play. The purpose of the bag is to store the frames as well as providing manipulative play.

The second item, called Groovy Girls Trendy Travel #101430, is a set of three travel bags appropriately sized to be used by thirteen inch Groovy Girls dolls. The items are cute representations of a rolling luggage case, tote bag and garment bag. Retail packed together and color coordinated, they are a luggage set for a doll.

Item three, called Groovy Girls Bag # 102880, is a bright pink bag made of vinyl sheeting measuring almost ten inches in diameter. Although proportioned for the forty-inch Groovy Girls doll, it has a duel use as it is appropriately sized for a young girl.

The last samples are an assortment of booties for babies. Item 200520, Gingham Garden Booties are made of either 100% man-made fibers or 65% polyester/35% cotton fibers. Both the uppers and soles are textile. The soles are covered with vinyl dots of approximately 2mm diameter and spaced 10mm apart on center horizontally and 7mm apart on center diagonally.

At the tip of the booties, which curves upward, is the head of a creature with a broad smile and large red nose. The head encloses a rattle. The booties serve as foot rattles. The face of the creature will be pointed toward the baby’s head and will rattle when the child moves his or her legs.
