Most toddlers are fascinated by children who are around their own age. I don’t really know why this is the case, but I frequently saw it when my daughter was younger. This preference translates into an definite preference of dolls that are a toddler's own age or younger.

In this article we will look at the bet dolls for toddlers as well as accessories for those dolls.

Corolle Tidoo Suce Pouce in Pajamas - 12 inch Doll
In my opinion this is the best doll for a toddler. It is extremely light to carry around, which is great and it is soft and cuddly. The doll is also water proof, which means your toddler can take it swimming or play with it in the bath. The doll floats so no chance you will lose it. You can put it in the washing machine on a gentle setting, which means it's easy to clean, also it dries fairly quickly.

It has those eyes that open and close, which the kids seem to like.

It is a little pricey, but the dolls high quality has made it the most popular doll for toddlers.

My First Baby Powder Pink - Madame Alexander
If the previous doll is a little too expensive for you Baby Powder Pink is the best cheaper alternative. It's a little smaller and very cute, perhaps better for very young toddlers.

These accessories are all compatible with the Corolle Tidoo 12 inch dolls, like the one I recommended above. Though I am sure they will work with similar sized or smaller dolls.
