The First Children

This project has far exceeded our highest expectation. The first 6 caregivers that took part in the project have grabbed this opportunity with both their hands. The have started producing dolls within the first month and we would like to introduce you to the first group of Kiddy Dolls that we have purchased.



Our long term goal is to sell the Kiddy Dolls on the international market. We are currently exploring the possibilities in both the USA and Europe. Until this market is fully established, we are making these Kiddy Dolls available at R500 each. They will be accompanied by their own village scene and their individual stories in the form of a handwritten note from their creator.

Mammas done and dusted

At last, all the Mamma Dolls are made, dressed and boxed. We even sold 4 yesterday to Linda Coutsides - one of our most loyal supporters. She says that the recipients were delighted with their gifts, especially those who received dolls that were already posted on the blog. We took a group photograph of the whole series this afternoon to show them to you.



You may notice that we did a total of 15 different looks. The reason for this was the fear that once they are sold, they are gone and we will not even have a reminder. One full set will be kept back as an example of this link in the chain of dolls. Individually, the dolls look as follow:





Each doll is approximately 30cm long - the scene of the village behind their individual pictures was done on an A2 paper. They are placed in a hand-made box, lined with a village scene and relevant information and are selling at R300 per doll.
