Baby Doll BFF

Earth Explorer Toys in Zionsville, INA friend of Earth Explorer Toys recently became reacquainted with her first baby doll. Her mom found it in an old box and presented it to her, dust and all. The decades old (but we won’t say how many :) ) baby doll is admittedly a little worse for wear, but aren’t all toys that are truly loved to pieces?

Our friend told us how the sight of that baby doll flooded her mind with all kinds of fun childhood memories. That story reminded us that toys aren’t just toys. Sometimes they’re a toy, and a best friend and security blanket all wrapped up in one.

Your little one may be ready for her first baby doll and Earth Explorer Toys is proud to carry a selection of Corolle, Manhattan Toy, Gund and Goetz dolls and accessories.

Corolle’s Babipouce ($29.99) is soft and light. She has pink striped velour pajamas and can suck her thumb like a real baby. Parents, you’ll love to know that the doll is machine washable. My First Accessories Set is the perfect accompaniment to Babipouce. It comes with the signature print Corolle bag, bib, bottle with warmer, potty, dish, a bit of food, panties and a super sweet rubber ducky. Add in a Small Stroller, and your little one is set.

Another popular doll from Corolle are the Calin dolls. With beanbag bodies, they are super soft and easy to cuddle with at naptime, bedtime or whenever your child needs a snuggle. She opens and closes her eyes and clothes are easy to change with flexible arms and legs.

Baby Stella ($32.99) is beautifully soft with lifelike toes. She comes with an outfit that can be changed and lots of fun accessories including a removable diaper and a pacifier. A soft and flexible Backpack Carrier is sold separately and can be easily packed with all the essentials. It adjusts to fit most children aged 3 and up. All are surface washable.

These are just a couple of the many baby dolls we have in stock. Let us know if you have any questions about any of the dolls. We’ll be happy to help you find the perfect best friend for your little one.
