Dolls are more than toys. They are a right of passage, a dream, a friend, a collectible, an opportunity for creativity, roll play and inspiration.

One brand that has won scores of awards and global recognition for its loving and charming dolls is Corolle. From the very first doll for a baby, to a dress up doll for a little girl, there are a variety of Corolle dolls that look and feel as real as possible, with realistic expectations for the countless adventures that she will encounter.

The Corolle collection stays young and fresh every year with the introduction of new dolls, updated fashions, accessories and more. Yet, for the littlest girls, who aren’t yet interested in dress up, the soft vanilla sent and machine washable fabrics of the Babicorolle line make a perfect first confidante.

For little boys and girls under the age of 3, the Mon Premier and Les Classiques are the start of countless tea parties and roll play opportunities with the addition of accessories like doll diaper bags and strollers. Many of these dolls can provide opportunities to prepare for a new sibling, and one particular doll to note is the Paul or Emma Drink and Wet Bath Baby to help with potty training.

From there, the entire line, with the addition of Miss Corolle, is filled with dolls. It is just a matter of finding one that speaks to your heart. Whether it is a blond hair, blue eyed doll for your daughter or a blue outfitted one for a little boy, there are many from which to choose.

Once we you have the dolls, consider finding a place for them to live with the new My Girls Dollhouse. It is a six-foot high dollhouse for the variety of 18 inch dolls that our children play with.

A beautiful home, with the addition of beautiful dolls, clothing and accessories, begins the start of many magical memories. I cannot wait to start them with my own daughter.
