Frequently Asked Questions

What’s an appropriate age for Troll toys?

Thanks in part to the recent DreamWorks movies, Troll-inspired toys are a big hit for children of all ages. As long as Trolls are no longer a choking hazard, they are appropriate.

Are Troll dolls fully waterproof?

It may depend on the type of Troll doll. Some are not, such as plush Trolls with mechanical parts. But tiny plastic Troll figures are waterproof and can be an excellent addition to bathtime play.
