• The dolls are ethically handmade and of the highest quality. They use the finest European materials (hair, eyelashes, freckles, cheeks, lips), These features make the dolls appear real and ready for whatever your child envisions.
• Playing with a doll is very helpful for visual learners and helps children develop.
• Research from Cardiff University: Through monitoring the brain activity of 33 children* between the ages of 4 and 8, as they played with a range of Barbie dolls, the team found that the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS), a region of the brain associated with social information processing such as empathy, was activated even when the child was playing on their own. These benefits of solo doll play were shown to be equal for both boys and girls. Dr. Gerson explains: “This is a completely new finding. We use this area of the brain when we think about other people, especially when we think about another person’s thoughts or feelings. Dolls encourage them to create their own little imaginary worlds, as opposed to say, problem-solving or building games. They encourage children to think about other people and how they might interact with each other. The fact that we saw the pSTS to be active in our study shows that playing with dolls is helping them rehearse some of the social skills they will need in later life. Because this brain region has been shown to play a similar role in supporting empathy and social processing across six continents, these findings are likely to be country agnostic”. 
• The dolls do have a vanilla aroma. My daughters love it. We have noticed over time the scent fades away.
