Rubens Cutie - 32 cm

Very sweet Rubens doll in a slightly smaller format, with a straight body and unweighted bottom. 

The doll is not anatomically correct. A slightly smaller, but just as cute, doll - hand sewn with its own unique expression.

The doll is made of soft polyester fleece and filled with polyester fibres. The doll is machine washable, but its clothes should be hand washed.

Rubens Cutie and Rubens Cutie Activity dolls have the same size and weight. 

P.S.: Rubens Barn has fun tutorials for making the cutest homemade clothes for your doll. You'll find them on YouTube.

Weight: 155 g

The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Excellent for developing your child's ability to show empathy.
• Great for group role play, where little ones practise finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge.
• Motivates your child to practise social skills, for example being able to wait their turn, lose, trade toys, or listen, being patient and tolerant, and making an effort to read the situation.

Measures 32.
Suitable for children aged 0 mos. to 7 yrs.

Playing with face paint, dolls, animal figures, play sets, and dressing up are all ways of engaging in role play. Role play is key in your child's development. While role playing, your child strengthens their ability to think creatively about their own identity. How does a unicorn or a sword fighter talk? And what can I do if I'm a dinosaur or a cowboy? Having such ponderings while playing stimulates your child's social skills. Role playing helps children strengthen their sense of the world around them. Through role play, your child is able to learn about 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 lots of them. Because Rubens Barn have created many different dolls of various 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 beads in their bum, so the doll feels like a real baby in your arms. Therefore, the dolls are often used in dementia caregiving, because they can evoke lovely memories and improve well-being.
