How can I keep the hair on my dolls from getting tangled up?

Dolls that have synthetic hair meant to feel like real hair can often end up with a rough, tangled mess on top of their heads. When this happens, you can wash it much like you would your own. Soak the doll's hair in warm water for about 10 minutes and then apply a drop of shampoo. Work it through the hair, rinse, and apply conditioner. Rinse the conditioner, comb the doll's hair gently, and dry it on low heat with your blow dryer.

What can I do if my child's plastic doll is dirty or stained?

To clean a plastic doll, remove any clothing or accessories, and wash the doll in warm water. You can use shampoo or dishwashing liquid on any stubborn spots or stains. A dishwashing liquid that is tough on grease can be especially helpful. For stains that don't come off, scrub them with a toothbrush. Just be gentle so that you don't scratch the doll up.

What ages are most plastic dolls appropriate for?

Most plastic dolls on the market today are suitable for children ages 4 and up. Some are made specifically for toddlers, but many fashion dolls come with small accessories that can become a choking hazard for younger children. Always use your best judgment before giving your child any toy that you think may be a safety issue.
