Bitty Baby is a doll produced by American Girl. This baby doll is designed specifically for young children ages three and up. Bitty Baby is a 15 inch infant doll with no hair. The head, arms and legs are made of vinyl. The body is made of cloth. Bitty Baby offers parents the opportunity to introduce a child to American Girl before she is able to read. Just like the American Girl dolls, Bitty Baby is made in a variety of body types. There are five dolls with different skin types from dark to light. Parents can choose a Bitty Baby with a skin tone and eye color matching the child. American Girl is careful not to identify the different varieties of Bitty Baby dolls as a particular ethnicity. This allows for owners to associate the doll with more than one ethnic background. The Bitty Baby line includes several accessories. Buyers can purchase the doll along with a starter kit of accessories including a bib, bottle, pacifier and more. There is also furniture, books and clothing. Girls can even wear a pajama set that matches the doll. All Bitty Baby dolls come with a five inch plush bear called Bitty Bear and a small board book. Bitty Baby is a nice choice for young girls. Preschool-aged children who are not old enough to read the historically themed adventure books can still enjoy the spirit of the American Girl. The fact that Bitty Baby dolls are designed to reflect a variety of ethnic backgrounds makes them a nice extension of the American Girl mission to promote self-esteem in young girls. |
