I am new to this too. I looked up therapy dolls and followed some of the suggestions I found. Painted hair or bald so they are easy to clean. Lighter than a usual reborn so easy to hold. Cuddly. I have tried to dress them in older fashioned clothes and have crocheted blankets.

I put all the stuffing in the kit bags then put that into the body. That way if they get wet or if the have to wipe the body with something to clean it, the stuffing will not get wet. Cuts back on the chance of mildew.

Awwwww how awesome!! I love the one in yellow!! They are all so beautiful. I wish i knew about this hobby when my Nana was alive and suffering from Alzheimer’s. 20 yrs she suffered until she forgot who everyone was and lost the ability to talk, walk and eventually lost the ability to eat and drink. May you be blessed for allowing these wonderful elderly people to have some joy in their lives!!
