Lottie Dolls are Smart and Sassy
Be Bold, Be Brave, Be You
My 5 and 2 year old daughters are obsessed with dolls. All shapes and all sizes. They are played with on a daily basis around here. My girls enjoy the ones we have but I have not really been happy with the smaller dress up doll choices out there. When I first viewed the Lottie Dolls online I was blown away. These are exactly the kind of dolls that girls need! All Lottie dolls are modeled on
the dimensions of a real 9-year-old girl so it is no wonder that the award-winning Lottie collection has
become a hit in 14 countries!
Each Lottie doll arrives in a giftable,
illustrated and collectable ?doll box bag? with handles with minimal
plastic packaging.
Pirates are definitely not just for boys!
The back of the box.
Lottie is inspired by reading about the life of the original ?Pirate Queen,? Grace O? Malley, a real-life pirate who lived in 16th century Ireland, the ?most notorious woman in all the coasts of Ireland.? Not a ruthlessly accurate historical representation; instead this is a memorable way to highlight an unconventional woman who has been airbrushed from history until recently. Don’t be surprised when kids ask to read more about her life and if she sparks a passion for history!
Lottie clothing is easy to dress and undress using
Velcro fasteners. Her long hair is soft and
won’t tangle or knot. Standing at 7.5 inches, she is perfectly sized for
little hands to hold and carry her around the room and across town. Her
jointed body can have her do splits and turn her head to strike a pose.
All dolls and clothing are suitable for children ages 3 and up.
For parents hoping their daughters will study S.T.E.M. – science, math, technology and engineering – playing with Butterfly Protector Lottie may inspire a love for nature, experiments and science. For a strong mind and strong body, girls will find intrigue with Kawaii Karate Lottie. Unconventional career paths can be found in Pirate Queen Lottie, not a current career track but a path that shows that women can do anything men can do! Right matey? And Robot Girl Lottie is a whiz at the science fair. An interest in robotics could happen by playing with this adorable toy!
Here are just some of the Lottie Dolls:
- Robot Girl Lottie
- Butterfly Protector Lottie
- Kawaii Karate Lottie
- Pirate Queen Lottie
Of course no doll is complete without the ability to change their outfits! Some of the accessory packs include:
- Busy Lizzie the Robot Accessory Set
- Pirate Queen Accessory Kit
- Girls United Outfit Set
- Body Boarder Outfit Set
- Blue Velvet Outfit Set
- Raspberry Ripple Outfit Set
- Raising the Bar Outfit Set
- Sweet Dreams Outfit Set
To enhance the Robot Girl Lottie play time, the new Busy Lizzie the Robot Accessory Set includes practical suggestions for kids to get ?hands-on? with robots ? just like Lottie. This features a mini-biography of Erin Kennedy, Canadian robotics role-model, trailblazer and original ?Robot Grrl,? and information about Kathy Ceceri, US award-winning author of Robotics, a fun and educational introduction to the exciting field of designing, building, and operating robots. These are real-life examples of powerful, positive role models for girls to emulate.
Here is Pirate Queen Lottie all ready for bed with my 5 year old.
She told me that her Pirate Doll is her “most specialist doll ever and she is very important to her.” I just love how she immediately fell in love with this doll!
In a matter of weeks, Lottie
received the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, A Scholastic
Gold Star Toy distinction and Creative Child’s Preferred Choice and Seal
of Excellence! Oppenheim Toy Portfolio has awarded its rare Platinum Best toy Award three times in 2012 to the Snow Queen Lottie, Spring Celebration Ballet Lottie and Pony Flag Race Lottie.
All Lottie dolls have Saran nylon hair and tactile fabrics with stitching detail, inner linings. I can feel the difference when I am holding her. She just feels like a much higher quality doll over other plastic dolls out there. Lottie has the detail of a high-end collectable doll at an affordable play doll price. Holiday shopping is offically here and over 600 specialty stores here in the US
carry the doll and her clothing. The line is easily found at Amazon.com. Look
for Lottie in 2014 to join the shelves at over 1000 neighborhood stores!
I can’t wait to grow our Lottie Doll Collection!
