Baby dolls & doll accessories

Smoby doll accessories - everything doll parents need for their baby dolls

While many other toys that you might have enjoyed as a child are no longer "in" today, dolls are a real perennial favourite. The artificial babies, which are now available in a wide variety of designs, reliably put a smile on the faces of little girls and boys. Not infrequently, they become beloved everyday companions who are taken along everywhere and touchingly cared for.

Play with the baby dolls can be expanded with a variety of accessories. Almost everything that the "real" baby needs is available as a child-friendly version for the cute dolls. The doll accessories thus ensure that the variety does not come up short and boredom has no chance when playing with dolls.

Why is playing with dolls educational?

One thing is clear: playing with dolls is a lot of fun. What not all parents know, however, is how playing with baby dolls helps children develop important skills. First and foremost, the following skills are promoted:

Promotion of social intelligence

In playing with dolls, children train their social intelligence almost incidentally. By taking care of the babies made of fabric or plastic, they develop empathy, learn to take responsibility to a certain extent, and experience giving and receiving security in a playful way.

While playing with puppets together with other children, they work out ways of resolving conflicts, strengthen friendships and hone their communication skills. These are all skills that fall into the important area of social and emotional intelligence.

Creativity promotion

When dolls are colourfully dressed and typical parent-child scenarios are acted out, creativity grows wings. With baby dolls and matching doll accessories, children can immerse themselves in their own world, try things out and create all kinds of imaginative adventures.

Promotion of motor skills

Last but not least, doll play trains motor skills. Grasping, holding, cradling, feeding, changing and putting away the dolls appeals to gross and fine motor skills - so motor skills are improved through play.

Which doll is suitable from what age?

Depending on the age of the child you want to please with a doll, different models come into question.

Cloth dolls from 0 years

Newborns and infants in their first year of life are not yet familiar with advanced functions or elaborate visual details on dolls. For them, the most important thing is the feel, i.e. how a doll feels. That's why models made of fabric are ideal. They pose no risk of injury and invite the baby to snuggle up comfortably. They also absorb odours well - from mom or dad, for example - and thus have a calming effect on the child in unfamiliar surroundings.

Life-like dolls from 2 - 3 years

Once children reach the age of two, they start noticing fine details, which is why lifelike baby dolls are now a good choice. Most children at this age will prefer realistic-looking dolls and will be happy to have a doll accessory or two.

Functional dolls from 3 - 4 years

Finally, so-called functional dolls are also a possibility for children over the age of three. Such dolls can, for example, laugh and cry, absorb liquids and pee or even blink and move their little arms. For functional dolls, too, there are of course baby doll accessories that make play even more interesting.

Important: The age recommendations for dolls are to be understood as rough guidelines. Since every child develops at an individual pace, you should assess your child accurately and decide which baby doll and doll accessories are best suited to your child based on your observations.

What criteria should you look for when buying dolls and doll accessories?

The market for dolls toys and baby dolls accessories is huge, so it is not always easy to distinguish child-friendly, really good from less quality products. When buying dolls, you can use these criteria as a guide:

Age recommendation

You will find age recommendations for most products in the manufacturer's information. This applies both to the dolls themselves and to doll accessories. Especially with accessories for baby dolls, you should consider the age recommendation because there are definitely products that contain small parts that can be swallowed by smaller children.

High-quality processing

To ensure that your child can enjoy a doll or doll accessory set for as long as possible, you should pay attention to high-quality workmanship. The toy should also necessarily be made of high-quality materials and withstand a certain load.

Pollutant-free

Especially in the oral phase, children tend to put all kinds of things in their mouths - and dolls are no exception. Since baby dolls also come into contact with your child's skin, they should be absolutely free of harmful substances. Only if this aspect is given, you can let your child play with baby dolls and doll accessories with a clear conscience.

Washable

Parents know: Where there are children, it does not always stay clean. That's why it's an advantage if both the dolls and the accessories are washable. Cloth dolls can often be washed by hand, while plastic products can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
