By Karyn M. Peterson -- Playthings, 11/1/2006 12:00:00 AM
A child's first doll is more than a plaything; it's a constant source of security, a wellspring of inspiration for imaginative play and a vital means to learning self-expression and emotional interaction. From velvety velours to baby-soft knitted cottons, these new additions to the world of rag dolls—though not quite as well-known as Raggedy Ann, who turns 98 this year—are bound to be just as loved by today's kids, and are crafted to withstand years of tough love. Who needs an imaginary friend with cuddly companions like these to choose from?
