Welcome to the second part of
our ”Plush With A Purpose” roundup:
Adorable Kinders
I came across Adorable Kinders while I was researching toys for our Plush With A Purpose Roundup. I fell in love with the line of delightful Adorable Kinders dolls. These dolls bring me back to the time I owned a Raggedy Ann rag doll. My fun time consisted of dragging her around playing pretend with her. I’m not sure what happened to her. I wish I could’ve handed my Raggedy Ann doll down to my daughter. Adorable Kinders are the type of toy that could be passed down for generations.
There are 26 rag dolls to choose from in the Adorable Kinders line. Each doll’s name starts with a different letter of the alphabet (A -Alise, B – Brittany, C – Christy). The dolls are an impressive 18” and they’re made with 100% soft cotton. No two dolls are like. There’s a good chance you’ll find a boy or girl doll that resembles you’re child. The dolls come in different skin tones, hair colors and styles. Their clothes are sweet and colorful and both the dolls and clothes are washable.
We were lucky enough to review an Adorable Kinder. We requested Sierra. She looked like a sunny California girl in her bright orange top and shorts. Plus, we loved her curly short, golden brown hair. She arrived in a nice sturdy box that we were excited to open and reveal this special doll. Sierra’s hair is made of soft yarn and she has large playful eyes. All the dolls weigh less than 2 lbs making it easier for kids to carry and care for.
What makes this rag doll unique? Adorable Kinders will grow with your toddler into their preschool years. She’s a classic doll but with a modern twist. Each Adorable Kinder comes with an individual Internet code that can be used online at the Adorable Kinders eSchool. Children can use this code, with their parent’s permission and assistance, to create a username and access the online area. The eSchool starts at the Kindergarten level and has different activities and challenges that will help develop computer, reading and problem-solving skills. There are other activities outside of eSchool. You can color, visit the library, and play house.
Aranza Zamora-Goodenbury of Granza, Inc. created Adorable Kinders. Adorable Kinders soft-cloth rag dolls were created as a lasting legacy of Aranza’s late son, Ivan. Another reason why these dolls are so unique. There’s nothing like the love of a mother and her child. You can see that love in every doll.
You can’t go wrong with a doll that your children will love, learn with and even possibly hand down to their children. The Adorable Kinders have won many toy industry awards in 2009, including being named to Dr. Toy’s 10 Best Toys of 2009 List, and earning a NAPPA Gold Award. I guess the IT Families are not the only ones who think Adorable Kinders are fantastic!

I would give this to my cousin’s little girl who is having a hard time right now since her parents are divorcing.
Out of all the dolls, I would choose Sierra because the curly hair is like Liz’s hair. Liz would cherish such a doll for years.
This would go to our daughter.
This doll is precious and I wish my daughters were still young enough to enjoy it. Since they’re not, I’d give it to my friend’s daughter.
