The doll can be machine washed at 30 degrees, but the clothes should be hand washed.
Rubens dolls are made of soft polyester fleece and filled with polyester fibres.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for children aged 0 mos. to 7 yrs.
Role play is a key part of your child's development, because role play strengthens your child’s ability to think creatively in terms of their own identity. How does a unicorn or a sword fighter talk? And what can I do if I'm a dragon or a gardener? Having such ponderings while playing develops your child's social skills. Acting out different roles helps children expand their awareness of the world around them. Through role playing, your child is able to experiment with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation.
The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Wonderful for stimulating your child's empathy skills.
- Perfect for group role play, where children learn about finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge.
- Inspires your child to practise social skills, like being able to lose, listen, trade toys, or wait their turn, being tolerant and patient, and making an effort to read the situation.
