Kaloo’s soft, cuddly dolls feature kind smiles, long floppy limbs and attractive clothes that little girls will love.

The variations of these dolls available at Baby Brands Direct include different skin tones and hairstyles so children can find a friend that they can relate to, no matter what they look like. 

There is a reason that plush toys such as rag dolls are one of the biggest categories within the toy industry. The rag doll is a toy that has been around for centuries, a cuddly companion for children that has stood the test of time. The British Museum in London even has a Roman rag doll within its collection, dating from the 1st-5th century AD, showing that these toys have been firm favourites of children throughout the rise and fall of civilisations. The appeal of a rag doll is quite simple – they’re comforting, a non-judgemental friend and can offer a hug at any time. As these dolls look like little humans, children can easily relate to them, as they may look like someone they’ve met or have an easy smile that invites them to be friends. 

Parents love these toys as they allow their children to explore talking and develop their communication skills. By talking and interacting with their little doll friend, children are able to express their emotions or feelings in a relaxed way without fear of being judged by someone. Children are able to process information received through the day – like what they’ve learnt at school or what they’ve been told by a parent – by talking to their doll and acting out scenarios. As well as emotional and cognitive skills, cuddling and holding the toys can of course provide children with experience of using their arms and fingers, boosting their fine and gross motor skills. 

Kaloo’s Tendresse dolls are designed to invoke the nostalgic, timeless feel of classic dolls, with their embroidered features and dangling limbs that give a charming look. This appeals to grandparents and parents as they will be reminded of their own favourite childhood toy. Today’s consumers love the resurgence of traditional style toys, as these toys are built to last which makes them great value for money, don’t require batteries or electricity to function  and can be passed down through the generations. These dolls are made from soft polyester and are machine washable, ensuring that they can be kept clean and pristine even when snuggled in bed or at the dinner table. Suitable from birth, these dolls are presented in lovely gift packaging. They are perfect for christenings, first birthdays or baby shower gifts and will fit well in any toy store or nursery boutique.
