Joyk Empathy Doll, 65 cm
The doll resembles a 3 to 6-year-old child, but it's only 65 cm tall.
The dolls come with the outfits shown in the pictures, and you can dress them in baby clothes in size 74/80 cm.
The dolls can sit up or lie down with their legs straight. They have belly buttons and tiny fingers and are anatomically correct.
When someone looks at you with a warm, smiling face, you’ll most likely smile back. Mirroring and imitating each other and playing pretend are the foundation for learning empathy and social skills.
The dolls’ friendly smiles, open faces, and warm, understanding eyes encourage kindness and a sense of well-being.
They are made to make and maintain eye contact, as if they’re listening and fully trusting you.
The dolls feature anatomically correct genital details.
The dolls are hand-sewn, so facial expressions may vary from doll to doll.
Beating heart available separately.
The dolls are machine washable at maximum 40 degrees and at the lowest spin cycle. Protect the doll's hair during washing with e.g. a nylon stocking.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for ages 1 yr. to SeniorsRole play is a key part of your child's development, because role play improves your child's ability to think creatively about their own identity. How does a turtle or a ninja talk? And what can I do if I'm a dragon or a doctor? Having these kinds of ponderings while playing helps to develop your child's social skills. Acting out different roles helps children develop their sense of the world they live in. Through role playing, your child can learn about boundaries, rules, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction.
The activity supports skill development and is great for your child's well-being:
- Develops the ability to express empathy and care.
- Invites your child to express themselves and develop body awareness.
- Motivates your child to practise social skills, for instance being able to lose, listen, trade toys, or wait their turn, being tolerant and patient, and making an effort to read the situation.
