Rubens Baby - Ali, 45 cm

The activity supports skill development and is wonderful for your child's well-being:

• Ideal for stimulating your child's empathy skills.
• Great for group role play, where children practise taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game.
• Strengthens social skills, which, according to childcare professionals and teachers, are more important for students to practise than learning grammar and division.

Measures 45 cm.
Suitable for children aged 0 mos. to 8 yrs.

Role play with dress-up costumes, play sets, or dolls teaches your child to think creatively in relation to 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 develops children's social skills. Role playing helps children develop their sense of the world they live in. When role playing, your child gets the chance to test rules, boundaries, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction.

Do you know Rubens Barn?

At Toy Academy, we are very fond of Rubens Barn in all their wonderful versions – and there are many to choose from. Because over the years, Rubens Barn have made lots of different dolls of countless variants and sizes. Some dolls have heating pads to keep your child warm, some are over 50 cm long, and others are suitable for newborns. Some dolls have changeable diapers, and some are organic.

Rubens Barn dolls are hand-sewn, and most have weighted bottoms, so holding them feels like holding a real baby. Therefore, Rubens dolls are often used to care for people with dementia, because they can promote well-being and evoke lovely memories.
