The Love, Stella dolls are the perfect size for holding, hugging, and nurturing role play to foster social and emotional development. Dolls are 100% soft with embroidered features, fabric hair, plump tummies, cute little belly buttons, and a signature magnetic pacifier design. The doll body has a weighted bottom and sits unassisted - perfect for playtime! Clothes are removable and feature hook-and-loop closures for supporting elementary dressing skills.
Research and studies by child development experts find that doll play allows children the ability to develop and practice key social and emotional skills including nurturing, empathy, and friendship. Some researchers term this as EQ (Emotional Intelligence) which is a key component to a child's whole development.
