‘My Bestie’ crochet doll collection is purely made from an intention to create a happy play companion for your little one. The range will feature different personalities of dolls - from bookworms, Tomboys, fashionistas to nature lovers - to ensure your child finds the one that truly captivates her heart! Why dolls? Dolls present a unique opportunity for children to engage in role-playing that mimics everyday life. It often creates a safe ‘non-judgemental’ zone for them where they can be their true self and express freely without inhibitions or social pressures. Dolls have been an integral part of child counselling and therapy. Also, this is a small effort from our side to bring back ‘doll play’ which has sadly been replaced by entertainment series on iPads and Television. Doll play’s benefits in children’s social and emotional development, imagination, and creativity cannot be ignored!

About the crafter: Shipra watched her mother knit sweaters, jumpers, cardigans and hats all her childhood, and was taught the basics of crochet back then. In 2013, a friend introduced her to Pinterest and she has been crocheting since then. Not a day that goes by without her creating something new… This creative part of her life is dedicated to her mother.
