The Paris & Pups toy line is designed for children aged five to eight and includes a variety of items such as [fashion dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdoh-barbie), interactive plush animals, playsets that double as accessories, and a series of small, collectible charms meant to be worn on bracelets.
