Calin Charming Pastel by Corolle

Calin by Corolle is a 12-inch tall baby doll sized perfectly for a toddler*. This is an important consideration so that a child can engage in pretend play, whether rocking the baby to sleep chatting with her over tea, with the utmost ease. Calin is a lightweight doll, so a little girl can comfortably carry her about, perhaps practicing being a little mommy herself.

Calin has supple vinyl limbs and a soft, beanie body that allows a child to manipulate her into realistic positions. Her head is also vinyl, and infused with a delicate vanilla aroma that does not fade with washing. Calin does not have hair, so sticky fingers won't cause a combing crisis. In fact, Calin is completely machine-washable.

Calin Charming Pastel has pretty blue eyes that open and close. Her mouth is set in a slight smile that gives her a placid expression. She's wearing a light pink one-piece cotton outfit with long sleeves and a Peter Pan collar. A floppy sleeping cap tops off her snuggly ensemble.

Oh Corolle, we love you so. With their beautiful sensibilities and commitment to excellence, this French company offers some of the best dolls around. Perhaps it's their setting in the scenic Loire Valley, but in any case, Corolle designs realistic-looking dolls and clothes them in the softest, cuddliest pajamas. Winning over 30 international awards, Corolle leads the way for play dolls and we are proud to carry a great selection.

Corolle guidelines for choosing the right size doll: A child should be able to cradle the doll easily in the crook of her arm. As a child cradles the doll, the length of the doll's body (neck to toes) should approximately match the length of a child's arm from elbow to finger tips.
