Toys are made for children, so why not take a child-centric approach to toymaking? Seems obvious, but that traditional, back-to-basics approach was also an innovative one when Melissa and Doug Bernstein began their eponymous toy company in 1988, headquartered in Doug's parents' garage. Their first product, a sing-along children's video, was also one of the first children's videos to feature real children.
Today, Melissa & Doug creates over 1,000 innovative products for children of all ages, including educational toys, baby dolls, and wooden doll furniture. Their toymaking philosophy remains both traditional and child-centric, forgoing the electronic toys created by most educational toy companies. Instead, Melissa and Doug create quality wooden toys that are inspired by extensive research and time spent with children, and shaped by children's desires and responses. If it's what parents, teachers, and children want, it's a toy that Melissa & Doug will create.
The Melissa & Doug Mine to Love™ dolls at DollFurniture.com are an excellent example of how Melissa & Doug makes children's wishes their highest design priority. From size to smell, these loveable, beautiful, premium-quality baby dolls are made to be warmly welcomed into the arms and hearts of young doll lovers. Perfectly sized at 12 and 14 inches, Melissa & Doug baby dolls get the important things right, adding innovative extras only where children will notice and cherish the difference.
For example, along with classic features such as eyes that open and close, and unique facial designs with lifelike characteristics, Melissa & Doug dolls have a sweet, fresh baby scent, bringing children's sense of smell into play—something few baby dolls do. It's a basic creative touch that brings greater realism to mother-and-child pretend play. Movable arms and legs and soft, high-quality nylon hair complete the resemblance, for a realistic doll your child will be sure to love. There's even a Melissa & Doug potty training doll, the Drink and Wet doll with bottle, potty, pacifier, and diaper.
Thoughtful fashions and quality construction are also part of the appeal of the Melissa & Doug Mine to Love baby dolls available at DollFurniture.com. They're dressed in charming, beautifully crafted removable outfits that cater to little girls' favorite fantasies, including ballerina outfits and princess gowns, and onesies for baby-like realism.
Exquisite wooden baby doll furniture and lifestyle accessories are also part of the DollFurniture.com selection of Melissa & Doug toys. Melissa & Doug's experience as an award-winning manufacturer of wooden toys gives their wood baby doll furniture an extraordinary level of quality and realism. Little, lifelike details exemplify the thoughtfulness that goes into Melissa & Doug doll furniture designs, such as the gold hinges, magnetic latches, and upholstered hangers on the Melissa & Doug Doll Armoire.
