We received Haba's adorable 12 inch tall Lilli doll (from Oompa Toys) which is part of the Lotta and Friends Collection of Haba cloth dolls.
.
I love Haba toys and was not disappointed in the details, quality, or the fun factor which the Oompa website indicated we'd find with Lilli.
Lilli is the little sister of the Haba doll Lotta, and she has a well crafted, easy to remove skirt, shirt, pinafore, socks, shoes, and hairband which is designed to be large enough so your child can use it, too!
Lilli and Lotta picked strawberries in their grandmother's garden, and Lilli is so excited for the strawberry cake they bake together that she puts on her special strawberry dress for the occasion. Luckily, for your own strawberry eaters, this entire doll is machine washable. Just to test, I washed and air dried Lilli and not only did she air dry quickly, the doll looked just brand new.
My 18 month old son was able to remove only a few of the clothes himself and I needed to help with the rest. However, I love that this doll that can grow with him and he’ll eventually be able to engage in creative play with her. The shoes are latched with a soft but strong velcro. The only thing I noticed was that the eyes on our doll were slightly smaller and less expressive than in some photos I'd seen, but it didn't seem to bother my son.
Lilli is well made from soft but sturdy cloth, she can do the splits, stand and sit if propped up. She has ears and a belly button. Her hair is soft but when pulled very hard, does not come out. The packaging is an upright box with a view inside to Lilli through a plastic panel. The doll is full of features and the price point, while expensive, seems fair for what you get.
I would definitely recommend any of the dolls in this collection and I think that the clothing for the similarly sized dolls is also interchangeable, and some have additional accessories available. This doll is ready to cuddle with in bed, or take on a road trip to grandma's as your special companion!
