Handmade toys have made a revival, especially dolls made of fabrics that encourage children to use their hands and imagination. Designers are coming up with original ideas and new ways to design dolls and other soft toys without caring so much about the symmetry of limbs, beauty in proportions or functionality.

These imperfect toys are funny, sometimes pathetic and scared (Herzensart‘s vikings and knights), simple and sweet (Zid Zid Kids‘ animal caravan or Q Collection Junior‘s Claudius the Bear) or childlike (based on your child’s drawings Wooberry Dolls and Lizette Greco). Many of these soulful personalities introduce ideas of respect and tolerance and address the inner child in all of us. They help breakdown gender boundaries and stereotypes, being created as much for boys as for girls.
