Specialists believe that play has a huge positive impact on children’s emotional health. Since the types of dolls available are limited, it means that millions of kids, who don’t look like most other children, don’t get a chance to see themselves in the dolls they play with. Amy Jandrisevits’s love for crafts and kids turned “representation matters” into more than just a hashtag. She found a way to advocate for inclusion and put a smile on the faces of kids who don’t get represented enough.
If you could create any type of doll, what kind of doll would it be? What are other ways that society can support kids who aren’t represented enough?
These dolls are absolutely magical as are their owners! Whoever decided to do this special doll creation and donation program is truly an angel with a heart of gold. I hope that they manage to find their way to every child that would want or need one in their lives. These dolls are such wonderful gifts.
