My Friend Emily

What is it

The Lamaze clip lets you hook Emily to strollers, carriers and changing bags to take her along for on-the-go fun.

What our experts think

This bright and colourful doll offers a wealth of textures and sounds to explore. Our little testers loved the different textures, which encourage sensory development as well as promoting fine motor control in shaking and grasping the doll. Exploring what makes different sounds i.e. the necklace makes a rattling noise, teaches cause and effect logic. Parents told us how the toy had grown with their children and still remained a favourite with some who were three years old, who featured the toy in their imaginative role playing. We would enjoy seeing the doll in different colours, to move away from the stereotype of dolls and pink.
