What should you consider when shopping for a Disney princess toy?
- Child’s Age: While each toy on this list is exciting in its own way, consider the age of the child you’re buying for.

Whether they like to pretend with dolls or cuddle at night with their favorite princess, you can find the type of toy that will inspire the most play or bring them the greatest joy.
- Favorite Characters: Unless the child you’re shopping for loves all the princesses equally, make sure you get the toy that features their favorite.
Are all Disney princess toys expensive?
While a lot of licensed merchandise is noticeably more expensive, this list includes picks that can fit every budget. Whether you are buying a birthday gift, one for a holiday, or even just a special treat on a normal day, you can find a toy that features their favorite Disney princess within your budget.
