Doll carriers!

These pictures just seem to say it all, don’t they?

Doll carrier! what a great gift for a child. It comes in a variety of colors and cute patterns, and you can choose your favorite type of carrier, just like mommy.

It is great especially for a child who is about to become an older brother or sister. It is a toy that encourages a child to imitate adults and feel like a grown up, so can be very helpful during that difficult period of accepting a new sibling, when many children seem to regress.

Like mommy, they can carry their doll around and have free hands for other important stuff, like taking the doll along for a bike ride.

If they have other toys to take care of, they can wear the doll on the back as well.

The best thing about doll carriers is that they’re very easy to make at home. It doesn’t have to carry a heavy baby but merely a doll or a teddy so you don’t have to be too meticulous about it. Any piece of fabric will do, and you need very little, so it can cost nothing at all. I made my son a couple of carriers today (will post some pics later)- and I sew really bad. If I can do it, anyone can…
