A Soft, Cuddly, and Durable First Baby Doll
Your child will love the flexibility and softness of Calin. This 12-inch long, Caucasian baby doll has vinyl arms, legs, and a moveable head. Because her torso is made with a soft and pliable beanbag body, your child will enjoy holding her, sitting her up, and laying her down to sleep.

Calin has a sweet, molded face with blinking blue eyes. The plastic pacifier fits well in her mouth, but is also attached to her candy pink polka dot top by a strip of pink lace, so you'll never have to worry about misplacing it.

The Calin Candy Pink Doll comes with an expertly constructed and machine-washable fleece-like top, cotton pants, and a pink beanie accented with a blue fabric rosette. The Velcro tabs on Calin's top and the elastic around the waist of her pants make changing Calin a breeze. Though additional accessories would be great, nothing beats a well-made toy. And Calin is certainly well-made, with her expertly molded face, stuffing, and beanbag body. With such easy-to-use features, you will be confident that your child will have a wonderful time playing with, and caring for, this doll.

Cuddly and Pleasantly Fragrant
The soft beanbag body gives Calin flexibility and a realistic feel. Her features are simple and well-constructed to withstand your child's playtime activities. She's soft enough to cuddle with during a nap, but durable enough to withstand rougher play. This toy's lightweight and durable simplicity make her a great toy option for any child who likes baby dolls.

If her cuteness and durability weren't enough, the Corolle Mon Premier Calin Candy Pink Doll has a pleasant, vanilla bean scent that you and your child will love.

Award-Winning Toy
Corolle's Mon Premier Calin Candy Pink Doll is the winner of multiple toy awards, including a Platinum Award and a Gold Seal Best Toy Award from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, an independent consumer review group of children's media. This baby doll was also named among the "Top 20 Toys for the Holidays" by ASTRA, the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association.

I got this doll for my 16-month-old daughter who has recently become fascinated with baby dolls and being a little mommy. When I started researching the best doll for this age group I grew frustrated with the selections. I couldn't believe how difficult it was to just find a simple doll that doesn't require batteries, doesn't talk, pee, eat, make weird noises, crawl, or have some sort of blatantly advertised "educational" aspect. I just wanted to find a safe, attractive, simple baby doll for my toddler to love and grow with. I definitely found it in this Calin doll. The second my daughter unwrapped her it was instant love. This doll goes everywhere with her now. My daughter loves to feed her and tuck her into bed for "nigh-nigh."

The doll is just the right size for a toddler. It has enough details to make any small child happy: its head turns, its eyes open and close and have eyelashes, it takes a pacifier, and because its body has some sort of soft bean-bag-like material it can sit up and is somewhat poseable. It has a wonderful smell that other reviewers have compared to vanilla. I like that it doesn't smell like plastic. The clothes are easily removeable and the pacifier is on a short ribbon which is sewn to the doll's shirt. It doesn't come with small parts that are painful when stepped on or easily vacuumed, which is always a plus for me! Because of the doll's size it's also easy to buy accessories of other brands which are less expensive. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know about its durability. I would probably recommend a hand washing in the sink or in a thick lingerie bag in the washing machine because the plastic has a nice soft feel and I imagine it would scratch up in the wash.

This is a wonderful first doll for any child, I believe. It's simple, it's pretty, it's attractive enough that it will remain a favorite for years, and it doesn't make any annoying sounds or have any overt educational agenda. I don't have anything negative to say about this product at all!

This review is from: Corolle Mon Premier Calin Candy Pink - 12" Doll (Toy)

I was looking for a simple baby doll for my 18 month niece, because the children in my toddler class love to play with babies! I didn't want anything flashy, with buttons to push for sounds or liquids to make it soil its diaper. I just wanted a simple, small, durable baby for my little niece to carry and love.

This is the doll! It's small size makes it easy for little hands to carry with them. It is simply dressed and smells sweet. My niece preferred this doll to the Bitty Baby she received (although I do like the Bitty Baby line of products). For your money it is a great buy and can teach little ones how to use their hands to be gentle and nurturing and its simple style allows them to be creative and imaginative.

My daughter loves this little baby doll. She smells wonderful (vanilla) and is soft to hold. She is small so she makes the perfect portable doll to take anywhere. She does not do anything but be a sweet baby doll and my daughter can have fun taking care of her.
