What makes Lottie Dolls different from traditional fashion dolls?

Lottie Dolls are based on the proportions of a real 9-year-old child rather than an adult woman, promoting healthy body image and age-appropriate play. They were developed in partnership with academics and child development experts to empower children and embrace imaginative childhood rather than focusing on adult themes or fashion.

Are Lottie Dolls suitable for both boys and girls?

Yes, Lottie Dolls are designed as inspirational dolls for both girls and boys. The collection includes both Lottie (girl) dolls and Finn (boy) dolls, with many outfits and accessories that work for both characters, promoting inclusive play.

What types of Lottie Dolls and accessories are available?

The collection includes individual dolls with various themes like Ballet Class, Fossil Hunter, Rainforest Guardian, and Coder Girl, plus accessories like the Pony Pals horse sets, Campfire Fun playset, and clothing multipacks. There are also standalone outfit sets like Tennis Club and Future President costumes that can be purchased separately.

Do I need to buy a doll separately from the clothing sets?

Each doll comes with relevant accessories and outfits to support imaginative role-play.

Are there any special edition or themed multipacks available?

What size are Lottie Dolls and how do they compare to other doll brands?
