Magnetic Dress-Up Doll, Best Friends

This activity develops essential skills which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Gives your child plenty of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
• Here, your child can develop their fine motor skills.
• Perfect for group role play, where children learn about finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge.

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

Role play with dolls, dress-up costumes, or play sets improves your child's ability to think creatively when it comes to their own identity. How does a turtle or a sword fighter talk? And what can I do if I'm a giant or a circus performer? Having these kinds of reflections while playing develops children's social skills. Acting out different roles helps children strengthen their awareness of their own world and daily life. When role playing, your child can experiment with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction.

Do you know Melissa & Doug?

For many years now, the aunties and uncles at Toy Academy have enjoyed a good relationship with the talented toy makers at the American toy company Melissa & Doug. The toy makers have a great understanding of which toys children love to play with the most, and which therefore give children's brains and bodies lots of learning by capturing their attention and stimulating their curiosity.

The toys are durable and versatile, so most of the items can be used in many different ways. This makes the toys extra sustainable, as they encourage versatile ways of playing that do not require additional consumption of nature's energy and resources. And every single year, the company wows us with great new ideas.
