Dolls in general have been around for a long time, and are one of the oldest toys children have ever played with. We all remember growing up and having that special bond with a baby doll. The main reason for their popularity in human history is that a doll represents a child themselves, and so allows our children to gain an understanding of themselves and others. Caring for a doll teaches children responsibility, empathy, and compassion.
BABY born has always sought to deliver high-quality dolls that make the perfect play partner. Many generations have learned that the possibility for play is endless with a BABY born best friend by their side. They possess all the qualities of a perfect best friend and will be there for every adventure, whatever the weather. BABY born dolls ignites imagination and helps children learn through play, as they encounter creative, imagined scenarios with their dolls. Children will learn to communicate and care for each other, just as they take care of their dolls.
It’s a popular question that’s been googled many times, and the answer is ‘yes’.
Over the last 30 years, BABY born has led the way in innovation, so their dolls will always make the perfect BFF.
They can go in the water, so your little ones can bathe them. They can also drink, cry, ‘eat’ and ‘poop’, enabling life-like mother and child play that will teach your little one so much.
And if that’s not enough, doll play just got even smarter, with BABY born’s introduction of Magic Eyes, a range of dolls that allows your children to truly take the lead. This new function allows little ones to be in control of waking their BABY born and putting them to sleep.
To celebrate National BF Day and 30 years of the much-beloved BABY born brand, there’s a fantastic range of exclusive Happy Birthday items so your little one can throw the perfect party for their bestie.
Meet the BABY born Magic dolls! Simply pop the dummy in their mouth and twist one way to open their eyes and the other way to close. Plus the new range of BABY born Magic dolls can do all the amazing things they did before and more.
