Meet the family
The set arrives as a mum, a dad, a boy and a girl, each dressed in knitted and muslin-style fabric with woollen hair. Different outfits make the four easy to tell apart at a glance, and children quickly start handing out names and roles.
Bendy limbs for real routines
Every doll has bendy arms and legs. Children bend a knee to seat a doll at the kitchen table or fold an arm around a sibling for a hug, and the pose holds until they change it. Posing the figures takes small, controlled finger movements, which builds fine motor control. It suits the 3 to 4 year old stage, when role play moves from pushing figures about to acting out what happens at home.
Sized for a wooden dolls' house
The dolls are sized to fit Mentari's wooden dolls' houses and furniture, so they sit on beds, chairs and sofas as they should and the rooms you already own get used more. Play is silent, with no batteries, and the textured clothing and woollen hair are easy to hold.
Grows with their stories
A three year old tucks the family into bed and repeats the routine. By five, the same dolls act out a birthday party, a first day of school or a house move. Dolls like these give children a safe way to rehearse real social situations and practise language, turn-taking and empathy. When the story outgrows four characters, add a second family such as The Honeybunch Doll Family, or extra furniture.
