These pretty organic cotton rag dolls, are ideal companions for little girls, rather than plastic-wrapped rubbish toys. All have natural stuffing too, so can be safely washed in the machine, unlike ones made with recycled polyester (use a Guppyfriend to capture microfibres in the machine).
Always check toy safety kitemarks and age ranges, and keep small parts away from young children and pets. Never leave young babies/children (includes pets) alone with toys. These are for older human children! Never leave toys in cots with babies, to help prevent crib death.
Meri Meri (UK) offer a nice line of organic cotton toys and dolls.
