On a recent trip to the Disney store (proceed with caution!) I spotted the cutest collection of internationally dressed dolls. If you’re drawn to vibrant colors and lots of cuteness, you’re going to love Disney’s “It’s a Small World Collection,” seven new dolls inspired by the original Fantasyland attraction and one of the best-known Disney tunes. I can remember “It’s a Small World” being one of my favorite Walt Disney World rides when I was young and that song brings those memories right back.
The 16″ dolls feature traditional folk costumes, shoes and hairstyles and they are just adorable. Each of the seven dolls (Hawaii, Holland, Kenya, Japan, France, India and England) sings in her native language and English. Best of all, the recordings are made by children from around the world for authenticity. I love how kids can learn about other cultures, fashions, languages and traditions through play and these dolls are great starters for all sorts of inspiring conversations.
Not into dolls? The youngest globetrotting boys and girls will enjoy the “It’s a Small World” Storybook and CD set.
These would be great birthday, holiday or baby shower gifts. I also love the idea of using the dolls as part of your nursery or playroom decor.
