Did you know that June 10th is World Doll Day? In honour of the occasion, give your little one a doll buddy to take along adventures!

A baby doll is a great thing for any child of any gender. It encourages caregiving, nurturing, helping, and sharing. Learning to share or take turns is an important part of social development.

For baby dolls, we LOVE Baby Stella! Baby Stella is a soft baby, even safe for younger toddlers. If your baby wants a tinier baby experience, Wee Baby Stella is a smaller size soft doll that's still a great size for play. Baby Stella is also inclusive: you can find them in a variety of skin tones, and also in Stella Fella boy dolls. With any of the Baby Stella dolls, your child can dress them up in a variety of outfits and use toddler and Baby Stella sized nursery gear.

Miniature doll figures are also helpful! With miniature doll figures, children can develop social skills and empathy. Their pretend play encourages children to talk about feelings, thoughts, and emotions.

With miniature doll figures also comes the fun of dollhouses and doll furniture. If you're down with vintage, Maileg has amazing miniature furniture pieces for their mice that will look beautiful in any dollhouse. Calico Critters furniture is more of a country casual, but still lovely and durable. Dollhouses allow children to experiment with housekeeping, organization, and situational role play. Best of all, all of our dollhouses and miniatures are made to be safe for tiny hands.
