I love to share my favorite toys, games, and movies from my childhood with my children. My sisters and I loved playing with our Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls my mom passed down to us when we were little - We even and watched Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure over and over and over . While many of my favorite childhood shows and toys have made there way back Raggedy Ann is one I have not seen come back - until now! Aurora has made it possible to share Raggedy Ann and Andy with our children.
Aurora has released a variety of classic Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy rag dolls and Fancy Pals™ (Raggedy Ann Butterfly or Red Ribbon style) in 2012, and is thrilled to work with Hasbro to bring a new generation of children into the fold of this classic and beloved brand with a new line of plush dolls striking just the right balance of vintage and modern elements. These handmade pieces feature exquisite detail including fine facial features and yarn hair with the classic loop style. Aurora has captured the spirit of the heartwarming dolls, created by Johnny Gruelle in 1918 for his daughter Marcella, with ten sweetly nostalgic styles. Each collectable comes with a 4 sided hang tag that highlight Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy's origin and legacy. Great for ages 18 months and up.
Review:
As a child, I loved to play with my Raggedy Ann doll and many of my favorite childhood memories include dragging her around and all of the fun we use to have together. My doll was passed down to me form my mother so she was worn, but I loved her. Unfortunately, Raggedy Ann and Andy did not survive my sisters and I taking them everywhere so when I was given a chance to review a Raggedy Ann rag doll, I was excited to see her and pass her to my daughters to see if they would love her as much as I did.
I chose to review the 16" Raggedy Ann Doll. The doll I received was beautiful - She has the classic red yarn looping hair and the familiar facial markings. I love that they kept everything the same from the floral patern of her dress to the apron embroidered with "Raggedy Ann", accented with a red bow, and even her red stripped leggings. Of course, there is also my favorite feature - the "I Love You" heart on her chest.
My daughters love sitting with her and have given her a special place in our office chair where she sits and they read to her, bring her tea and cookies, and lay her down for a nap.
