Things You'll Need
Instructions
Find out which Madeline characters are your child's favorites. Is he or she a fan of both Madeline and her faithful canine companion, Genevieve? Is your child especially enthusiastic about one or more of Madeline's friends? Pepito? Danielle? Nicole? Chloe?
Visit both local and online toy stores to determine the range and availability of Madeline dolls and accessories. Each will carry a different array of merchandise.
Think about which Madeline dolls your child already has and try to find something a little different. If your child already has a collection of cloth Madeline dolls, try to locate the 8-inch poseable Madeline characters. These dolls are made of vinyl and come with a variety of clothes sets and accessories.
Consider the type of Madeline doll that would most interest your child. Is your little one a paper-doll enthusiast? A Madeline paper or magnetic doll set could be the answer! Does your child adore puppets? Consider a Madeline handpuppet as an option.
Choose a huggable, cloth doll for the youngest Madeline fan on your gift list. Dolls like the Dressable and Pajama Madelines are 15 inches tall and come fully dressed. Include a change of clothes with your cloth doll, as well. There are plenty of outfits and costumes from which to choose!
Expand your child's Madeline collection to include dolls that depict Madeline's friends and cohorts. Look for a plush Madeline's Genevieve and the 8-inch poseable dolls like Pepito and Danielle. Madeline is never without her companions for very long!
Expect to pay $10-$15 for the 8-inch Madeline dolls and clothes sets and $15-$30 for the 15-inch cloth dolls. Special items like the 60th Anniversary Madeline and the 36-inch cloth Madeline start at $50 and $100, respectively.
Order your Madeline merchandise through the shopping list below, an online toy retailer or your local shop. Your choices may be greater if you shop online; check on estimated delivery date and factor in shipping costs.
