The best baby doll beds for your kids

Playing with dolls helps your child develop a lot of skills cognitively, socially, and empathetically. When they take care of their doll, they have to think through their decisions on what to do. This can include figuring out how to carry them, what to feed them, and how the toy interacts with other toys in the space. Socially speaking, your child will communicate with the doll, which helps develop speaking skills. Most importantly, this will build your child’s empathy so that they can develop emotional intelligence from an early age.

Baby doll beds come in all different shapes and sizes. This is primarily due to the doll’s sizing, but you also have to take into account the “age” of the doll that your child is playing with. If the doll is a small infant or toddler doll, the doll may need something appropriate for small children. This can include cribs or bassinets. Once the doll is “older” they can start using a doll bed. Having the appropriate kind of bed for your child’s doll will help your child immerse in the reality of their parenthood.

The New York Doll Collection Bunk Bed

Best Bunk Bed

When your child has two precious dolls that they want to take care of, you should get them the New York Doll Collection Bunk Bed. This bunk bed will house two 18 inch dolls comfortably throughout the night. The white wood has small hearts decorated on the sides that look adorable and will fit in your child's room easily. It also includes a ladder and bedding designed with hearts to match the hearts on the headboards.

Manhattan Toy Wee Baby Bassinet

Best Bassinet

For your child with a baby doll, the Manhattan Toy Wee Baby Bassinet will let your child bring around their 12-inch doll comfortable in a bassinet made just for them. The striped fabric covering is paired with floral trim and floral handles that your child will be comfortable using to carry the bassinet around. The bassinet is lightweight and can be carried by children as young as one year old.

JC Toys Deluxe Rocking Doll Crib

Best Rocking Crib

"Rock-a-bye baby" doesn't have just to be a song you sing when you lull your child to bed. It can also be the way your child puts their baby doll to sleep. The JC Toys Deluxe Rocking Doll Crib is a cute plastic crib that can hold a 16-inch doll comfortable. It also comes with extra accessories to make bedtime complete like a baby bottle, blanket, and rattle.

These baby doll beds are like no other doll accessory that your child will receive. It is not only a handy storage space for your child to put their doll in, but it truly cements and endears the connection your child has to their doll.

After the Halloween buzz, there's often a letdown. Kids may wake up on November 1 feeling a bit like Charlie Brown with a bag full of rocks or Linus after the Great Pumpkin is a no show again.

Sure, taking the Halloween decorations down can be sad, but there is more to November than those hand turkeys everyone used to make in school.

There's quite a lot of excitement surrounding Thanksgiving. So, don't break out the gingerbread and holly just yet. Those pumpkins, scarecrows, gourds, and fall leaves still look amazing.

Kids at a sleepover

The time has come. You have agreed to let your child invite their friends to your home for a sleepover. Now, you need to figure out how to keep a group of kids entertained for the night. There's no need to start having a panic attack. It can be easy if you break down the activities a bit. If you need help with how to keep the kids occupied, we have a list of things to do at a sleepover, no matter what age group, so everyone is tuckered out by bedtime.
Food-related activities

Make your own pizza
Who would say no to pizza? Making your own pizza at home is easier than it seems. This way, each child can create their own. You know they will eat the whole thing because kids who help cook are more likely to eat the food. You could use English muffins, flatbread, mini bagels, or whatever else as the base and let the children pick their toppings.
Put together themed charcuterie boards
From holiday to movie themes, let the kids pick out what kind of charcuterie board they want to create and gather the ingredients. Children are so creative, and everyone will love to see what the finished projects look like. You could turn it into a contest and have everyone vote on their favorites, but any activity where you get to eat at the end is a winner for everyone.
Make baked goods
Have you been meaning to make those cookies for weeks? Well, make it a fun activity for the kids to do at the sleepover. Children love to bake and be in the kitchen, and it boosts their self-esteem, but the best part is everyone gets to enjoy the baked goods. If you have any of those themed cookbooks, let the kids pick out a couple of things to bake from there.
