I discovered Lottie dolls this summer, and immediately fell in love. I was thrilled by the offer to review and run a giveaway for the company.
I LOVED dolls as a kid, and as a result I have very particular things I look for in dolls for my own children.
What to Look for in a Doll for Pretend Play
What You'll Find on This Page
These are the traits I look for in dolls for my kids:
- Easy to play with.
- Easy to hold and carry around.
- Comes with accessories AND inspires kids to make accessories.
- Inspires my child to create positive scenarios for the doll. This is pretty intangible, but I suspect most parents could easily identify which dolls on a shelf inspire positive stories and which ones inspire demanding or even cruel story lines.
- Leaves plenty of room for children to create their own identity for the doll. I don’t mind if the doll has their own story, but it shouldn’t be such a HUGE piece of who they are that children feel “stuck” with that storyline.
Lottie dolls are fully jointed, complete with bendable knees. I love that they look like children! These dolls are modeled after a nine-year-old girl’s body.
Our Lottie Doll Review

All three of my girls – aged 11, 8, and 5 years old – fell in love with these dolls as soon as they saw them. I let them each choose which doll to review. Five-year-old Anna picked the Autumn Leaves Lottie doll. Eight-year-old Lily picked the Forest Friends Lottie Doll. Eleven-year-old Emma picked the Pandora’s Box Lottie doll.

My girls were so excited to see these dolls when we got back from our summer road trip! They immediately started taking them on all sorts of adventures. I find these dolls somewhere new every day.

Anna and Lily each built elaborate homes for Lottie dolls using aluminum foil and washi tape, both of which they discovered as crafting supplies this fall. Here is Anna’s house:

This is Lily’s:

Lily has gotten the most into the Lottie doll crafting. See the tiny little bag she made using aluminum foil and washi tape? She made a larger matching bag for herself, and she plans to make some clothes soon.
