Peg dolls are not just for girls anymore.....I have to brag about Liz for a minute. She came up with this idea and gave these to Aaron for Christmas last year. She knows that Aaron loves Harry Potter and Star Wars and let me tell you they are a favorite toy around here.So, if you need an airplane or car toy for vacation this summer, I highly suggest some painted peggies in your boy's favorite characters. They are definitely going on vacation with us (we have a long car ride ahead of us ... View the Post
