How long does/did the Dora fad last?

Thank goodness my girls never got into Dora!

Both my boys adored Dora for about 18 months then Diego took over. That fad has now waned and I am waiting for the next one.

I'm so GLAD we got Dora here!! LOL

It took the place of Hi-5, The Wiggles and eeeeeveryone else too! Was awesome. The only thing she has ever been fanatical about was Tom and Jerry and old school WB cartoons, which I can handle.

DD2 is 4 1/2 and she still kind of likes Dora, but is also into other characters like Peppa Pig. I am just so thankful she was not into Dora as much as she was (and kind of still is) into In the Night Garden.

We get Dora on our tv but I keep the the TV on ABC for kids when ds is watching it which doesn't have Dora on that channel. My ds is into other shows/characters but my general rule of thumb is to accessories rather then buy the main item. In your case I wouldn't buy a Dora bed I'd buy a Dora cushion cover and some Dora wall Decals to stick on a plain bed frame, that way when she grows out of it you can change it to whatever she likes next. At the moment I have a Chuggington quilt cover on his bed and I got green and purple sheets to match but I was baring in mind that green & purple could be used to match dinosaurs, pirates or a space theme when he's older iykwim.
