For girls old enough to start sporting fashionable accessories, but who aren't ready to give up playing with dolls, Language Littles (ToyDirectory) introduces the new Mini Talking Tote—a multi-lingual mini-purse adorned with the face of one of four popular bilingual doll characters.

Available in Spanish Lizzie, Italian Sophie, Chinese Ling, and French Jolie, the Mini Talking Tote will teach kids how to say, “Hello,” “How are you,” “I love you,” and “Goodbye” in each language, just by pressing the doll’s smiling face.

What’s more, each tote bag is the perfect size to fit previously released Language Littles items such as the Mini—an eight-inch bilingual talking doll--letting Jolie say “Bonjour” from outside of the tote, while little Ling asks, “Ni hao ma?” as she goes along for the ride.

All Mini Talking Totes come complete with three of their own button-sized batteries already installed, so each character is able to teach young ones how to speak a new language right away, with each character’s voice recorded by a real native speaker. The Mini Talking Tote’s suggested retail price is $12.
