Magnetic Dress-Up Doll, Joey

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

• Here, your child's fine motor skills really get a workout.
• Ideal for group role play, where children get to practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.
• Motivates your child to practise social skills, like being able to wait their turn, lose, trade toys, or listen, being patient and tolerant, and trying to read the situation.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

Role play with dolls, dress-up costumes, or play sets inspires your child to think creatively about their own identity. How does a dragonfly or a sword fighter talk? And what can I do if I'm a dinosaur or a queen? Having all these thoughts while playing benefits children's social skills. Imitating activities helps children expand their sense of their own world and daily life. When role playing, your child can learn about rules, boundaries, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation.

Do you know Melissa & Doug?

For many years now, the playful aunties and uncles at Toy Academy have enjoyed a great relationship with Melissa & Doug's skilled toy makers. The toy makers have great insight into which toys children play with the most, and which therefore stimulate their curiosity, capture their attention, and give their brains and bodies lots of learning.

The playthings are durable and versatile, and most of them can be played with in many different ways. This makes the toys extra sustainable, as they can be played with in various ways without extra consumption of the earth's resources and energy. And every single year, Melissa & Doug impresses us with exciting new ideas.
