PLAYING WITH A DOLL PROMOTES CHILD DEVELOPMENT

The doll is one of the oldest toys ever created. Children have loved it since ancient times. And in the era of high-tech games, it remains a safe bet. Good news: it is also a remarkable game to promote the development of children!

Learn to express your emotions

The doll is a simple toy. To have fun, children must therefore show their imagination, which allows them to develop their creativity. With their doll, the little ones often begin by imitating the attitudes of dad and mom. This gives them the opportunity to revisit situations they have experienced and to express their emotions. Above all, it allows them to stimulate their language.

Develop mental representation

With a doll, children play a lot of “pretend”. And this is excellent for developing their sense of abstraction. Thus, the simple fact of imagining the meal that they serve to their doll appeals to the mental representation. And that is excellent for improving their comprehension and learning skills!

Improve motor skills

From the stroller to the clothes and the bottle, there is a wide choice of doll accessories. The little ones need to work on their motor skills. For their handcuffs, which can lack strength and precision, the simple act of dressing and undressing a baby is an excellent exercise to develop motor skills.

Which model to choose?

A doll must above all be adapted to the age and morphology of your child. It is essential to respect the standards related to age, because unsuitable accessories would be dangerous for the youngest.

  • For toddlers – up to 18 months – we favor small rag dolls (40 cm maximum). This simple toy will allow them to gently awaken their imagination;
  • From 2 years old, you can opt for a standard doll, quite flexible, and for its first accessories;
  • Around the age of 4, children can handle sophisticated models: large baby doll or hair doll
