How important are dolls to the well being of your children? And should those dolls be 'normal' dolls, or should you buy your children special needs dolls or down syndrome dolls?
Most experts agree that Special Needs Dolls and Down Syndrome Dolls not only help normalize doll play for your child but also with your children's peers as well. But are these dolls right for you - and your child?
While most of our guests have come to this site knowing that they want these products, we recognize that some of you are not quite sure what to think of 'dolls with downs,' or whether a doll's wheelchair is the 'right gift.'
Fortunately, you don't have to decide in a vacuum! Pattycake doll has often been consulted about Down Syndrome Dolls and other Special Needs doll toys. My new doll has Down's syndrome was published in Canada's Macleans Magazine last fall and speaks to some of the opinions surrounding these issues, as does a more recent article from Time Magazine titled New Dolls on the Block provides a European perspective on special needs and downs dolls.
Obviously, different families will have different opinions on these dolls. But we're here to tell you, your children will love them - we've never gotten one back!

Our Down Syndrome dolls were designed with both the approval and continuous consultation with many of the major organizations that work with our children. The working samples and design changes were repeatedly sent back and forth from the design studio, the manufacturer and these national organizations until everyone agreed that they were as good as 'cloth and stuffing' could be!
While shopping on our site we remind you to please don't pre-judge -- look at these dolls through your child's eyes. They don't care about colors or shapes or 'accuracy.' What they see is simply a doll to love.
You know, we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Parents occasionally use it; children - never!

Of course you don't have to buy our disability dolls, you can buy just our doll wheelchair and /or our doll guide dog and use your own dolls or toys for a special needs child.

Our toys for special needs children do have the advantage of being the right size for each other; our DS dolls are completely machine wash and dry. Our disability doll's wheelchair and disability guide dog doll will also fit many of our African American baby dolls, Asian baby dolls and Hispanic baby dolls throughout the rest of this site.
