PLEASANT VIEW, Utah — A 6-year-old girl in Pleasantville, Utah, put online shoppers to shame after ordering over $350 worth of Barbies and other toys on her mom’s Amazon account -- and now, her family has turned the impulsive shopping spree into a lesson about caring for others.
Katelyn Lunt is entering the first grade this year.
Her mom, Catherine Lunt, told Cox Media Group she ordered a Barbie doll from Amazon for Katelyn as a reward for doing extra chores around the house.
“She wanted to get on and see when it was going to arrive. When I left the room, she went crazy and ordered what she calls a ‘Barbie collection,’” Catherine Lunt said.
By the time Lunt realized what her daughter had done, she said she was able to cancel a few packages but many had already shipped.
The next morning, Lundt said the family went for a walk and was surprised by the delivery driver when they returned home.
“Right as we arrived back from our walk, the collection of packages showed up,” Lunt said. “It was hilarious so we had to take pictures. Her face pretty much says it all.”
When it came time to figure out what to do with the ‘Barbie collection,’ Lunt said the family decided to pay it forward.
A spokesperson for Primary Children’s told Cox Media Group the family dropped off the toys earlier this week, and the hospital was “simply the grateful recipient of their kindness.”
