I wasn't sure if the curl would be gone. mrs. bird on "Which type of doll will get the most play/use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-doll-will-get-the-most-playuse#post-1900852 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 15:04:04 +0000 mrs. bird 1900852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Younger LOs like bigger babies because they can carry them around and take care of them, older LOs usually play with smaller dolls and don't do as much 'caregiving' play & more storytelling play where they play with more than one doll & act out stories. mediagirl on "Which type of doll will get the most play/use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-doll-will-get-the-most-playuse#post-1900805 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:41:25 +0000 mediagirl 1900805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bunnylove08: huge meltdowns...noted. Ha! @mauxie: @MamaG: oh yeah, the hair. We have another baby with hair and dear lord, it's in dreadlocks now. Hahaha. Poor babies. :) @Mamaof2: @photojane: so helpful, thank you! bunnylove08 on "Which type of doll will get the most play/use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-doll-will-get-the-most-playuse#post-1900800 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:39:50 +0000 bunnylove08 1900800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mauxie: @MamaG: have you tried the doll detangler spray? To make Doll Hairspray / Detangler, in a small spray bottle combine: 2 tablespoons of liquid fabric softener fill the rest with water Spray it on the hair. Then just use a comb to comb it. <a href="http://www.cuckooforcoupondeals.com/ask-cuckoo-readers/oh-i-have-that-problem-too/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cuckooforcoupondeals.com/ask-cuckoo-readers/oh-i-have-that-problem-too/</a> bunnylove08 on "Which type of doll will get the most play/use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-doll-will-get-the-most-playuse#post-1900796 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:37:51 +0000 bunnylove08 1900796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have the collector's doll and DD loves it. She has a barbie doll but we're always losing the shoes and it a huge meltdown so we avoid barbie like dolls LOL mauxie on "Which type of doll will get the most play/use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-doll-will-get-the-most-playuse#post-1900792 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:35:21 +0000 mauxie 1900792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Oh and the hair.. hot mess! but oh well :) mauxie on "Which type of doll will get the most play/use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-doll-will-get-the-most-playuse#post-1900789 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:34:20 +0000 mauxie 1900789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have somewhat similar Frozen dolls from target and LO definitely prefers the baby/toddler looking one over the barbie type. She loves them both but in terms of interaction with the doll, she does more "stuff" with the baby (pretends to feed, changes diaper, etc). photojane on "Which type of doll will get the most play/use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-doll-will-get-the-most-playuse#post-1900786 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:32:41 +0000 photojane 1900786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sadie doesn't usually discriminate--she loves "babies" of any kind--but I've noticed that she prefers baby dolls more than Barbies. I don't think I really started playing with Barbies until I was 5 or 6. We love the animators collection dolls over here!

They are all matted messes! I prefer dolls that are either bald or yarn haired for this reason.
