Take stock of your child's Madeline doll collection and determine which Madeline accessories are most needed.
Give a Madeline Poseable Doll Case or even a Madeline backpack if your child has many Madeline doll outfits and accessories but nowhere to put them. Keep everything in one place!
Find out which Madeline book or video is your child's favorite. Try to find outfits and accessories that are similar to those worn by Madeline in your child's favorite scenes. Was Madeline skating? Then choose a skating outfit for your child's doll.
Visit local and online toy stores to determine the range and availability of Madeline dolls and accessories. Each will carry a different array of merchandise.
Ask your child which accessories he or she wants the most. Does your child's Madeline doll need more outfits? A wide variety of clothing sets is available for every occasion: holiday dresses, pajamas, skiing and skating outfits - even tiger, matador and princess costumes.
Remember the accessory sets that go along with most Madeline outfits. There are slumber accessory sets to go with Madeline's pajama outfits, soccer accessory sets for the next time Madeline wears her soccer outfit, playtime accessory sets for Madeline dressed in her play clothes.
Try not to worry if you find that you've duplicated accessories or clothing that your child's Madeline already has. Dress Madeline's friends in the extras. In the books, the girls are dressed alike anyway.
Expect to pay $10 and up for clothes and accessories that fit the 8-inch Madeline and $15 and up for clothes and accessories that fit the 15-inch doll. Doll cases for the 8-inch Madeline start at $20, while the case for the 15-inch doll starts at $30.
Order your Madeline merchandise through the Shopping List below, online toy retailers or local stores. Your choices may be greater if you shop online; check on estimated delivery date and figure in shipping costs.
