Canada's 18 inch Doll
The Maplelea Girls are fairly new dolls designed for play; each of the four dolls comes from a different part of Canada. Personally I find the smile a little too much but friends who have one say she looks better in person. She can wear the same clothes as American Girl dolls which really expands her wardrobe!
The best part, I thought, is the award they give called "Real Girls doing Real Things that Matter". This year's winner is Megan McCreary, an ambassador for autism. Her two younger brothers have autism - that inspired her to design a toy for them and now it's available for others too. You can learn more about her and autism at her website CommonSenses.
