These favorite Lalaloopsy™ doll characters are available in both manual and light-up toothbrushes. The manual toothbrushes, with a built-in tongue cleaner and a unique, easy-to-hold handle shape, bring to life the magical characters Tippy Tumbelina™, Crumbs Sugar Cookie™, Spot Splatter Splash™ and Mittens Fluff and Stuff™. Girls who love characters Blossom Flowerpot™, Pillow Featherbed™ and Bea Spells-a-Lot™ will delight in the light-up toothbrushes which showcase the same features as the GUM® Power Rangers™ light-up toothbrush.
