Soft, cuddly dolls can be carried in a toddler’s arms and make great little friends for shyer tots or those without other siblings. If you’re encouraging your toddler to start sleeping alone, a soft doll may be a good way to help them feel reassured in their cot.
Dolls measuring from 27 to 30 centimetres feel a little more life-like, but may be a hindrance if your toddler insists on carrying them everywhere. It really is a matter of personal taste.
You can always pick a gender neutral doll which gives toddlers room to use their imagination and the freedom to create a personality for their new friend away from typical gender stereotypes often applied to clothing colours or hairstyles.
Dolls with removable clothes give the option for toddlers to practise dressing their new pal, helping improve their motor skills and try out different clothing fabrics and textures. If you or the toddler’s caregiver is so inclined, dolls with removable clothes can even represent a chance for a new sewing project!
Others are suited to toddlers specifically, from 18 months to 3 years old and may have small loose parts which are worth keeping an eye on with children of any age. While this may not affect your decision to buy, it’s sensible to be aware of the possible risks.
Materials such as wool and cotton can be easily sponge-cleaned or carefully hand-washed – take a look at the label for washing instructions too! Dolls with a plastic face are also perfect for messy toddlers as they can also be wiped clean. Ones made from plush fabrics like textured polyester are extra soft and cuddly for little children which is another bonus.
