Using the Baby Alive Princess Ellie Grows Up doll is easy and fun. First, you can start taking care of her as a baby. Rock her gently, give her the pacifier, and do some pretend feeding with the sippy cup and bowl/spoon. Bouncing her a bit also helps her grow. As she grows, you can use the growth chart to measure her height. To style her, put the tiara hair extension on her head and brush her hair. Then, put the princess skirt over her outfit to make her look like a real princess. When you want to play again, just follow the instructions in the quick - start guide to reset her to baby mode. Remember to handle the doll gently to avoid any damage. If the doll gets dirty, you can use a soft, damp cloth to clean it. Keep the accessories in a safe place when not in use so you don't lose them.
