I was sent toys from Lottie Dolls for holiday gift guide inclusion. There is an affiliate link in this post. All opinions are my own.
Have you ever noticed how rare it is to see dolls that are child-like? There are lots of baby dolls, and then there are smaller dolls that are designed to mimic exaggerated adult body types. Lottie Dolls are designed with the purpose of being more like your kids, so they are more relatable. Their bodies are more proportionate, and they can stand up on their own two feet due to their more natural shape. They also show ethnic diversity and they make male dolls, too. I loved dolls of all kinds as a child, and often liked to role play with a husband, son, male friend, etc. Even as a young child, I was surprised at how difficult it was to find male dolls, particularly ones that are child-like and can represent brothers or sons.
My 4-year-old niece enjoys dolls, and largely for the purpose of role-playing people similar to her in real life. She doesn’t have as much interest in princess dolls or things like that. I thought Lottie Dolls would be perfect for her because they are more like her. She really likes animals, so I picked out the Pandora’s Box Lottie Doll for her. This doll comes wearing an adorable kitty hat, and a kitty on her jumper as well.
To pair with her doll I also picked out a couple of accessory sets. The Biscuit the beagle set comes with a cute little beagle dog, an outfit for him, a dog bed, bowl, a leash, and even a tote bag for Lottie to carry him around in!
The Pandora The Persian Cat set is just perfect for pairing with the pandora doll! This set comes with the kitty, her bed, a bowl, cat food in a bag, cat food in a can, and a cat toy.
Lottie has over 10 dolls to choose from, a tree house, a stable, horses, other pets, and play sets. The entire line is adorable, it’s hard to narrow down options. If you’re seeking a deal, they offer some gift sets that include different dolls and accessory sets that can save a bit of money over purchasing the items individually.
Buy it: You can find Lottie on the brand website, at select toy stores or on Amazon.com.
Win it: The Pandora’s Box Lottie doll. Giveaway is open worldwide and will end 11/15/2017.
Hi there! I am Emily Evert, the owner of Emily Reviews. I am 28 and live in a small town in Michigan with my boyfriend Ryan and our two pugs. I have a large family and I adore my nieces and nephews. I love reading memoirs, and learning about child development and psychology. I love watching The Game of Thrones, Teen Mom, Sister Wives and Veep. I like listening to Jason Isbell, John Prine, and other alt-country or Americana music. I created Emily Reviews as a creative outlet to share my life and the products that I love with others.
My 2 year old is going through a baby doll phase and would love this! I would have to buy one for her cousin too since we live together and they fight over everything!
I would love to play with the doll and my granddauaghter she is very cute. Very nice idea to have the girl and her hearing aid. We can all use a doll for our disability!
I’d really love to give this doll to my great niece for Christmas. She needs to know that there are dolls that look like real girls and dress like kids 🙂

I like these dolls because they are *smart* and good examples for girls, like the animal shelter volunteer in your example.
