A present for a very first doll
When a doll is a present for a small child, the giver makes the choice. What matters then is simple: the doll should be easy for small arms to hold and soft to cuddle. The Cuties are both, and play can start without any extras.
Givers who want to add a little more can include the summer outfit, which Rubens Barn makes to fit every Cutie. Later on, taking one outfit off and putting the other on becomes a game of its own.
Faces, names and Activity Emelie
With every Cutie light and soft, the choice comes down to face and name. The girls are Emelie, Karin, Hanna and Jennifer, the boys Adam and Charlie. Each wears a different outfit, from Adam’s sailor look to Charlie’s trousers and T-shirt and the girls’ summer outfits, so two Cuties for two children are easy to tell apart.
Activity Emelie is the one in the series that comes with extras. She comes with a knitted hat and a cat bag, so she is dressed for going out from the start. For a child who already has Emelie, Activity Emelie makes a second doll that looks a little different. Givers who know the family can also pick a doll that matches a sibling’s Cutie, or one that clearly differs from it.
Why so light?
Rubens Barn designs the Cuties for the very youngest, and their low weight is the reason the brand sees them as a first doll. Because a Cutie weighs so little, a small child can hold it up, carry it around and take it almost anywhere. A Cutie can be washed, too, which helps when it spends its days in a nursery.
