The 13" Soft Body Crying Doll "Melissa" from Llorens offers hours of imaginative play. Crafted from soft, phthalate-free vinyl, this jointed moveable doll is dressed in a navy blue floral dress and a knit hooded sweater jacket with matching booties. Her adorable blonde hair is styled in pigtails, and her blue eyes shine with delight. When she cries, Melissa will call out "mama" three times before being calmed by the white pacifier, attached to the clothing with an adorable teddy shaped clip. Batteries can be removed if desired.

Baby doll play encourages children to learn and explore, helping to develop fine motor and self-help skills, as well as nurturing and empathy. All Llorens dolls are crafted in Spain, and this one is recommended for ages 3 years and up, although it is not anatomically correct.
