Rubens Baby - Disa, 45 cm

Here, essential skills are stimulated, which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Develops the ability to experience care and compassion.
• Perfect for group role play, where children get to practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.
• Strengthens social skills, which, according to elementary school 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.

Playing with face paint, dolls, animal figures, play sets, and dressing up are all different ways of role playing. Role play is an important part of your child's development. When role playing, your child is inspired to think creatively in terms of their own identity. How does a unicorn or a ninja talk? And what can I do if I'm a dinosaur or a cowboy? Having these kinds of ponderings while playing strengthens your child's social skills. Role playing helps children strengthen their awareness of their own world and daily life. When role playing, your child is able to learn about rules, boundaries, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation.

Do you know Rubens Barn?

We at Toy Academy are crazy about Rubens Barn in all their lovely versions – and there are many of them. Because over the years, Rubens Barn have created many different dolls of numerous sizes. Some are organic, some are large (over 50 cm long), and some are suitable even for newborns. Some dolls can have their diapers changed, and others have heating pads to warm your child.

Rubens Barn dolls are hand-sewn, and most have weighted bottoms, so holding the doll feels like holding a real baby in your arms. For this reason, Rubens dolls are also used to care for people with dementia, because they can evoke lovely memories and improve well-being.
