This may be the best gift of all for a new big sister or brother whose parents are carrying the real baby in their own sling. This is a mini version of the organic New Native Baby Carrier, but made for kids 25-65 lbs to carry their dolls or stuffed animals. Organic cotton. Various colors (we choose). It's amazing how much toddlers and preschoolers enjoy slinging their toys when they see baby-wearing modeled with by adults. This pretend play helps them to develop nurturing and social skills, and we think it's just as important as--if not more important than--learning about letters and numbers and other academic things. Children without younger siblings enjoy these doll slings too, of course, especially if they themselves have been carried around in one. Suggested age is 18 months to 5 years. Made in the U.S.A. This is a great organic gift because... It helps kids to develop a healthy emotional intelligence, and they love to dress up and look just like Mom and Dad. |
