QUESTION:
"My daughter is 3, and OBSESSED with spooky, scary, and anything Halloween all year round. As I'm cleaning out her room, I'm finding several cheap and broken/ legless Barbie dolls, and I'm considering giving them a Halloween makeover. Basically painting em up like zombies lol. Just looking for some opinions on if this would be good fun or if maybe it's a little much for 3½. Obviously, I'm not gonna make them too scary and gory, just a typical kid's version of a zombie."

"I think it’s an awesome idea. My daughter will be 3 in a couple of weeks and LOVES all of that horror/spooky stuff too. You know what your child can handle and what she likes. It doesn’t matter if strangers think your child shouldn’t have it. Do you"
