What Parents Need to Know
This review of PollyPocket was written by Larisa Wiseman
Parents need to know that this site heavily promotes the Polly Pocket line of dolls and accessories. The site's home page alone displays two prominent links encouraging users to browse the catalog of toys; you have to dig deeper to find the interactive games, which themselves are based on Polly Pocket toys. Also, the games offer little substance, and many focus on materialism and external appearance -- shopping for fashionable clothes and accessories, giving Polly a new hairstyle, or redecorating her room, for example.

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Shopping and primping are a big focus here, and the interactive games reinforce that mindset; their obvious intention is to entertain and get girls to buy merchandise, not to stimulate their minds. Although the games are fun and simple enough for younger girls, many of their themes are more appropriate for tweens or even teens because of their emphasis on glamour, style, partying, and driving. The site's activities and colorful animation are good for a little lighthearted fun, but not much else.

This site is accually pretty fun! You can play a lot of games, which are not educational, but, i don't really see a problem with that. I mean you get educational stuff at school. When you go to websites at home, it is to have fun, not to get educational stuff. All girls should visit this site. You can find polly friends and get jewls, and when you have all of the jewls, you get a free coloring page! So come and dress Polly and all of her friends in funky styles and just have an all around good time!

Po-l-l-l- polly MSG!
Polly Pocket has about two or three games on the website, A LOT of msg, and they want you to buy a lot of things. A lot of adds. It is at least for a seven or eight year old, and this website gets boring once you have tried a lot.
