The Toy Insider is an editorial site that receives free samples from manufacturers, but all editorial opinions are their own. We believe these simple acts of kindness will form the foundation for children to develop values like compassion, empathy, and gratitude. She's grateful to work somewhere that she can fully embrace both her love of teddy bears and her admiration for the Oxford comma. Then the lady who had checked out before me stopped and came back to the cash register to look at Brianna, and the three of us had a whole conversation about how sweet the doll was and how fun her activity looked.
Plastic sadly cannot be reused infinitely, and the quality of re-plastic is often significantly worse compared to new material, so recycled plastic sadly can't be used to make all the stuff 'new' plastic is normally used for. It wasn't necessarily fast to get Brianna out of her box, but a lot of what slowed me down (other than the zillion plastic ties) is that I was examining the box, reading the messages, and completing the kindness board project. I thought the were creative, quick (none of them took me more than about 15 minutes), and rewarding. She brings it everywhere and the best is how she is learning to do random acts of kindness through the tokens that come with the doll.I didn't really want to take Brianna's hair twists out--they were very cute--but I see that as my responsibility; I do it so nobody else has to. She has a lot of reflective dots in her iris, and these are distracting; they make her gaze look less focused than I wish it was. Each one has a unique look with modern and on trend eco-fashions, along with their own sustainable fashion accessories.
I wasn't sure if the multiple rubber bands in Brianna's ponytails were part of her hairstyle or part of the packaging. Nora is my favourite and even her activity is about hair - which is the most fun about dolls in my opinion. Somehow, as social media editor for The Toy Insider, The Toy Book, and The Pop Insider, she’s found a career as both. g. recycled PET bottles has a relatively long history, so by hindsight I'm somewhat surprised it didn't yet come up as a material to be used for doll clothing. First of all, the dolls are each supposed to represent a positive message, so they each have a specific theme or hobby.but try as I might, I can't think of anything other than plastic for the window, haha, so I see why they left it open. It’s really positive that the B-Kind range has a good level of diversity, not only in the dolls outfits but in the dolls themselves, in terms of skin colour, hair colour and overall looks. Toys that encourage open-ended play can help kids learn more about themselves, their friends, and the world around them. All materials are compliant with international toy testing standards and the individual state standards within the USA.
It's not as bad as the Daisy I showed you, but her left eye definitely looks outwards more than it should.But perhaps most importantly, each doll comes with a different project, and so I had to weigh the relative merits of the projects, too. On one hand, it teaches a child to reuse old fabric, but also plastic bags, tissue paper or even candy wrappers. The eco and kindness messages are good though, a bit less shallow than some doll themes that are currently popular. Samantha didn't sell (she'll go to the Goodwill eventually), so she's just been sitting here in a box. I think kids will be drawn to her passion, and will enjoy being able to share in some of her favorite activities (like fashion design and making things out of recycled materials).
They should have included the paper pattern with every doll to balance things out, it's cheap and doesn't clash with other dolls' messages. Even though I was hoping to be able to use my sewing machine, it's much more practical to design a kids' project without the need for extensive sewing. The line features five dolls - Brianna, Koral, Ivy, Nora, and Daisy - all of which are eco-friendly, from the recycled materials with which they are made, to the eco-fashions they wear, to the reusable packaging created from ink made from soybeans.Maybe kids aren’t taken up by broader interests with their dolls much beyond fashion, makeup, and becoming a model or rock star. Anna Marikar, mum of four and seasoned blogger, has spent over a decade sharing her parenting journey and passion for kid-friendly crafts and free printables. The box comes with all kinds of little accessories, including some extra fabric and a stencil to make your own extra reusable bags for Koral. I actually prefer Brianna's outfit to a highly-detailed, fashion-forward item of clothing that's executed poorly (like a few of the Rainbow High pieces). We choose natural fabric (mainly cottons in the clothing) where we possibly can, which is a more costly decision, but one which has a more positive effect on the environment.
