Should I buy a doll with the same skin color as the child receiving it?

Children benefit most from having a wide diversity of dolls so they can see that all skin colors, genders, hair lengths and textures, and so on are valued. Child psychologists recommend buying children dolls in their skin color as well as all other skin colors. Parents are also encouraged to participate in their child's play to model positive and appropriate representations that all skin colors, eye colors, body shapes, and so on are beautiful and equally valued.

Do glow-in-the-dark toys wear out?

Glow-in-the-dark toys are "charged" by holding them in the light. Once you take them to a dark place, they usually hold their glow for 10 minutes to several hours. Most glow-in-the-dark toys get their glow from phosphors, and over time, their ability to charge will fade, but it can take as long as 15 years.

Should I let my child wash their doll figurine's hair?

Doll hair can get frizzy and tangled after washing, but you can prevent this by using warm or cold water, a gentle baby shampoo, and letting the hair air dry. Do not subject the hair to the heat of a blow dryer or curling iron as it will damage it.
