The Playground

Play dolls aren’t just for play. Age-appropriate 18-inch dolls actually aid little girls’ growth and development. That’s right, a Dollie provides your daughter with an opportunity for imaginative play, through which she learns how to care, nurture and develop better social and emotional skills.

Grooming Dollie Promotes Proper Hygiene

Does Dollie need her hair combed? Has she brushed her teeth today? Does she wash her hands before and after every meal?

As your daughter holds Dollie to a nightly bathtime schedule, she reinforces good habits for her own personal hygiene. It’s important for your daughter to practice these habits by applying them to Dollie before eventually adopting them for herself.

There’s more to doll play than little girl dresses – though matching outfits is half the fun! By indicating “bathtime” or “time to change Dollie’s diaper,” your little girl learns not just hygiene, but also sequencing skills. Plus, if she’s wary of bathing or potty training, she gets used to the sensory experience and naturally warms up to the idea of doing these everyday things. (Please note, you should never put Dollie in the bath or get her wet)

Before long, your daughter is on the same schedule as Dollie.

In her enchanting world of make-believe, whom does your daughter look to for inspiration? Probably a character like Princess Anna of Arendelle, who has won the love and admiration of Frozen fans around the world. Little girls everywhere are drawn to princess-themed everything – and their play dolls are no exception.

The Magic Of Make-Believe

Playtime today isn’t exactly what it used to be. Think back to your own childhood, and you’re likely to muster memories of dollhouses, dress-up and let’s pretend. Through the years, however, these creative opportunities for role-play have been edged out by the onset of television and video games.

It’s more important than ever for your little girl to excite her imagination and be inspired to learn and grow. Whether it’s recreating the scenes of her favorite princess movie or teaming up with Dollie to take on their next adventure, your daughter has much to gain by playing out her princess fantasies and stepping into a world of storytelling.
