"Los Manu" by Paola Reina: dolls for boys and girls to play to take care of them

To my daughter he loves dolls: the small ones, the big ones, the thin ones, the ones that have interchangeable bodies, the babies, the ones that the grandparents have bought him, the ones that were mine, the ones that were from his grandmother… That said it seems that he has many, right? Yes, he does.

My daughter play the dolls live adventures, relate, take care of each other; He also gives them food, takes them for a walk, makes them dressed, puts them in the car window to see the landscape; He has a very special relationship with them. The love of dolls does not come from me, it is she who has decided (we were not even the ones who bought the first); Of course, my mother says that she also loved (the two or three that she could have at that time) and that it may be a kind of “inheritance”.

I don't know very well what this introduction is about, because what I want is to introduce you to Los Manu de Paola Reina, a company located in Onil (Did you already know that this little town in Alicante has been the cradle of dolls forever?). They are several pairs of baby dolls with a classic air that I love, and are impregnated with a soft smell of vanilla (the kind that children like).

The Manu have been made like the rest of Paola Reina's products: with great care, following a careful production process, and resulting in a high quality product, which (in addition) is manufactured in Spain

In addition these dolls have been manufactured with safe raw materials, such as a soft PVC free of phthalates, poplin bodies without dyes, and filled with flame retardant acrylic fiber. Although I intuit that what kids will like most is its soft texture. And if the dolls are beautiful, the dresses and accessories are not to be missed, there are some winter outfits that are really attractive.

Ah yes! I know why from the introduction above, sometimes there is some controversy surrounding "girl toys / boy toys" in which I do not participate. I think that every boy and girl should choose, with minimal conditions, at home, when the oldest was a baby of a year and a half took stuffed animals and recreated different everyday scenes (I even pretended to breastfeed, something that doesn't surprise me because he did it himself).

With 11 years, a few years ago that does not want to see dolls or paint, otherwise it wouldn't be me who questioned him. Just as absurd would be if I did it because my daughter plays the mother of the dolls, I do not consider it sexist in this case that one wants them and the other does not, it is their decision. As it is to play cabins, ball games, or make cookies with your friends ... in practice any "Guide to play" (explicit or implicit) is bound to fail, because children what they want is PLAY, as they see fit.
