A doll can play a very important role in the life of a little girl, serving as her companion, and also fostering imaginative play and the ability to nurture. With more choices than ever before, it can be hard to pick the right one when buying dolls for girls, so knowing what each type has to offer can be useful.
The most suitable doll depends largely on the girl's age. Young infants and toddlers need soft dolls without small parts that can be pulled off and choked on, while the rough play of a preschooler is best matched with a doll that can easily withstand it. School-aged girls usually enjoy a doll that comes with a selection of pretty clothes they can dress it in.
A cloth doll is an excellent choice for a baby's first dolly. Their soft bodies are light and easily carried around and cuddled, and not likely to hurt the child if she drops it or bumps herself with it. Most can be easily laundered in a washing machine or wiped with a damp cloth. Even for preschool-aged children they are suitable, as some teach skills like lacing, buttoning etc.
Preschoolers may want to have a doll that resembles a real baby, especially as they see mothers caring for their infants, and want to imitate this. More realistic in appearance, this kind of doll has either a cloth body with plastic legs, arms, and head, or an entirely vinyl or rubber body. Some have rooted hair, and eyes that can shut, and others will "wet" when given a bottle.
Another popular doll with the preschool set is the interactive kind which can perform various actions that make them seem just like a real child. Run on batteries, they are capable of walking, speaking, singing, laughing and many other amusing antics that are sure to make kids smile and feel as though they have a life-like playmate.
Ever since the introduction of the Barbie doll more than fifty years ago, fashion dolls have also been a huge hit with young girls. This smaller kind of doll is made to resemble an adult woman and can be dressed in any of a vast selection of clothes designed for them. They also come with many fun accessories, vehicles, furniture, houses to further encourage creative play.
The 18-inch girl doll is another big seller with kids between 5-10 years old. These pretty little ladies are designed to look like miniature version of real girls and also come with a large selection of different outfits. Quality collector's items, they are likely to be quite valuable some day if well cared for, but they are usually expensive. An alternative is to buy one of the more affordable "imitations".
