Earth-Friendly, Bamboo-filled Multicultural Bye Bye Baby Bunting Infant Dolls


Babies love to touch. They love to see, feel and taste – it helps them feel secure (although nothing beats mommy). These multicultural, earth-friendly, Bye Bye Baby Bunting infant dolls are warm, cuddly and safe. Made in the USA by Imogen’s Garden, these sweet babies are composed of 100% cotton chenille and wool felt, and stuffed with naturally antibacterial bamboo*. They have safety eyes and a hand embroidered smile -- the perfect playmate for your wee-est ones (we do still highly recommend adult supervision for play dates). Did we mention they are hand-washable? Each doll is handmade from start to finish by the artist, so slight variations will occur making your doll uniquely yours. Bye Bye Baby Bunting is available as a boy or a girl, and in Asian, Black or Latino skin tones. Cost: $18.50 at dollslikeme.com.

*The bamboo story begins with its naturally antibacterial property, which is retained by the ultra-soft finished fibers. As the fastest growing plant on earth with the ability to absorb 2/3 more carbon dioxide and release 2/3 more oxygen than any other plant, bamboo is the clear leader among plant species for positive environmental impact. Bamboo is processed into luxurious fiber using pollution-free methods with little waste. It is truly a green product that lives up to and beyond expectations.

Top 25 Hispanic Dolls for Christmas 2008


This year, we thought it would be helpful if we published a series of holiday guides featuring multicultural toys. The Top 25 Hispanic Dolls List (in the right column) is the first Guide and our attempt to respond to the hundreds of questions about Latina dolls we we received last year.


The list ranks dolls by a formula we created, which rates parent response, play value, cultural and ethnic representation, and quality. The four ratings are averaged and listed in order from highest to lowest. The full list is available at http://www.dollslikeme.com/ as a downloadable pdf. Lists featuring Black and Asian dolls, multicultural games and puzzles, and multicultural baby gifts will be published in the next few weeks.

Number one on this year's Top 25 Latina Dolls list is
Reina (shown above in the Sweepstakes article) from Forever Friends Girls. 18" Reina arrives with a book bag, poncho and hardcover book, The First Day of Forever, which features Reina and her new friends. The Forever Friends Girls dolls were named as one of Dr. Toy’s “Best Children’s Products for 2008” and our favorite 18" -21" dress up dolls. The number 2 doll on our Top 25 is Rosa (shown). Rosa is a new 13" collectible fashion doll from Mixis.
