Rubens Kids Accs. - Polka Dot Dress

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

• Here, fine motor skills are strengthened.
• Stimulates hand-eye coordination, which you use for example when throwing, kicking, or catching a ball that comes flying at you in the playground, or when cutting a precise line with a pair of scissors.
• In role play, your child creates their own universe or imitates us adults.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 8 yrs.

Playing with dolls, play sets, face paint, or dressing up are all different ways of engaging in role play. Role play is an important part of your child's development. When role playing, your child strengthens their ability to think creatively in relation to their own identity. How does a unicorn or a sword fighter talk? And what can I do if I'm a dragon or a queen? Having such ponderings while playing helps to develop children's social skills. Acting out different roles helps children build up their sense of their own world and daily life. Through role play, your child can experiment with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation.

Do you know Rubens Barn?

At Toy Academy, we are very fond of Rubens Barn and all their delightful dolls – and there are quite a few. Because over the years, Rubens Barn have made lots of different dolls of numerous sizes and models. 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 holding them feels like holding a real baby. Therefore, Rubens dolls are often used in dementia caregiving, because they can promote well-being and evoke lovely memories.
