I am so impressed with the Kaya paper dolls and my 8 year old daughter adores them -they are the favourite plaything. As a lover of paper dolls from childhood I have always provided by daughter with lots of good quality paper dolls that provide lots of imaginative play as well as open her mind to children and people from different times and places. Up until now I didn't think the Little House Paper Dolls could be beat - then we found American Girl. The book has a velcro clasp on the side of the front cover to hold everything in place sideways, at the back is Kaya's purflece which folds from top to bottom with a clasp to hold everything in place lengthways - nothing falls out or becomes lost. The quality of the paper is fabulous - dolls are rigid (and there are three - Kaya and her two friends all full size) and glossy, clothes are just the right stiffness and glossy and so detailed! Every outfit comes with something for her hair or to carry or for her feet or a belt or a necklace and everything has on the back what it is and what it was used for and would have been made from. Awesome! We are learning so much and this information adds so much to my daugter's play. There are small pages to cut from each page and at the back a front and back cover and instructions on how to assemble the whole into a little book that tells part of Kaya's story. It is as if the book was designed by someone who loved paper dolls as a child and thought of everything she had always wanted in her paper dolls so had the chance to do it with the American Girls. I recommend the Kaya dolls so highly and we are looking forward to adding more American Girl Paper dolls to our collection. We love Kaya!
What a neat way to teach your younger girls (boys too!) about Native American history. Kaya is a young girl that gets herself into some trouble, yet she learns the lessons she needs to learn. Playing with the paper dolls allows children to have a "hands-on experience" while learning.
It was a great value for the price. It not only had the paper doll with clothing that could be cut out and used over and over. It also had a book about the doll which could be cut out and assembled. The stand up background was also a plus.
I love this book, but some of the outfits don't fit the right doll. They fit the other doll, but the main doll doesn't have as many outfits.
