PSA: "Ethnic" Baby Dolls

Hello ladies,

Since Miss Libby is multiracial (African-American, Carribean, German, French, Irish and Russian) I have been on the search for books and toys that reflect multiracial children as well as interracial families.  No small task, sadly!

That said, I came across this site today:

http://www.liveandlearn.com/

They have a nice selection of Asian and black dolls.  Apparently Angelina Jolie has shopped there.  They have an assortment of other non-race specific toys too and a catalog of toys NOT made in China.  Just thought some of you may be interested for your LOs.

ETA:  These are cute for older children:  http://karitokids.com/start.php

I like the Les Dollie dolls...they collectively remind me of Rainbow Brite.  Stick out tongue  The Asian one is really cute!

Our LO will be multiracial too - Japanese, Filipino, Irish, Danish, Norwegian and Spanish.  Big Smile

Thanks for posting Lori! I've been looking for a cute doll for Wai. She's multiracial as well (Austrian, Norwegian, Mexican, French, Lithuanian, Hawaiian, Chinese).

Cool...there's definitely a need for more products like these!

Another catalog I like is Lakeshore Learning.  They have a wide variety of materials for dramatic play, including ethnically diverse dolls and dolls with special needs.
