Echoing what another user said, I would still be wary about giving a 5 year old toys meant for ages 7-10, REGARDLESS of how she acts older. With that in mind, and keeping in mind how you're looking "in terms of robotics" - which I assume means you're looking for dolls that have some focus on robotics - there's a Robotics Engineer Barbie that came out a few years ago. I don't think she's on the shelves anymore, but she should be easily found online. There's also "Robot Girl" Lottie. She won't be on the shelf but she's relatively recent and you can find her online still. I think she has a few small parts, but nothing too crazy. For dolls that have a sort of sci-fi tech aspect to them, you could specifically try Barbie Starlight Adventure dolls. This line was mostly just science fiction and space-y, so not much robotics, but there was one doll that had a hovering pet component and there was an RC controlled Barbie figure. Came out a few years ago so you'll have to buy online. If you want, like, actually robot *toys*, that aren't dolls (or which aren't meant to be dressed up like dolls, but you might be able to fit either some American Girl/18" doll clothes on them or maybe baby clothing), then... looking really quickly online, it looks like there's the HopeRock Smart Robot for ages 4-10 (available from Walmart, but IDK if it's in store or online only). There's a lot of these type of toys on Amazon. If the "dress up" part isn't as important as the robotic/interactive element, there should be multiple Fur Real friends to choose from, small and large both. There's always plenty of little robotic interactive figures in the aisles, usually shaped like animals. If you want one that's shaped like a human, it looks like JAKKS Pacific has the Rock N Rollerskate Rainbow Riley and Lightning Luna dolls on Amazon - plastic, non-removable hair and extremely limited articulation and they have flashing lights, but they're remote controlled so... robotics element? I would suggest - if you want a bigger selection, try looking at the boy toys for robotic stuff. It's super misogynistic, but they're probably more likely to have more available to them. Anyway, this is all kind of off the cuff and quickly researched. Robotic girl toys haven't been, I guess, "in style" in the last few years so it's harder to find anything recent for them. Plus, "robotics" is a pretty wide scope that's kind of hard to narrow down. Like I said - do you want a "doll" as in brushable hair and clothing you can change, or a "doll" as in an interactive robotic toy? Because those are two different things. I tried to give you a few suggestions for both, but, like I said... there's not a lot to choose from that's recent. If you want stuff that ISN'T recent, you have a few more options, but you'd probably have to search secondhand for them. Answer from expired-blueberries on reddit.com

The Best Dolls for Kids of Every Age
June 9, 2022 - American Girl Bitty Baby dolls, introduced 30 years ago to help children acclimate to a new sibling, have become a classic. Hannah Schwob for NYT Wirecutter · Compared with the look of Miniland dolls, the Bitty Baby’s cuteness is more generic, as all Bitty Babies have the same face, with rounded cheeks and an inquisitive expression.

What American doll should I get for my daughter? She is 10. - Quora
Answer (1 of 4): One that she dosen’t have. Particularly one that she thinks looks nice or whose story shows shared interests. For instance if your child has an interest in video games then Courtney Moore who likes video games would be a good choice. https://www.americangirl.com/shop/p/courtney...

November 27, 2024 -

I'm looking for recommendations on best available toy dolls for my little niece who is 5 years old but acts nearly twice her age in almost anything from dressing to talking ! I'm myself a toy collector and my parents have all my gijoes, he man and masters of the universe, Legos and all sorts of toys from my childhood but I never actually paid attention to the doll market it's very big now and there are a lot of choices. Any recommendations by experts in toy dolls would be appreciated ! Thanks.

It depends on what she likes and what type of dolls she's into. Rainbow High would be my pick for a girl who likes fashion. The older RH dolls from 2020-2023 are still widely available and many of them came with two full outfits. They are high quality dolls and come in a wide variety of colors. The newer dolls are not as good imo, they are less posable and only come with one outfit, but she may still love them. Monster High is similar but with more of a playfully spooky vibe. I'd usually recommend Rainbow High and Monster High for slightly older girls in the 10+ range, as they both come with lots of little parts. In the same category, Bratz is also pretty popular. I dont personally collect these, but they make good quality dolls from what I understand. If you're wanting a larger, best friend sort of doll, American Girl is a good option. Their quality has dropped since the 90s, but they're still good dolls. They have a huge variety of skin/hair/clothing options. If you wanted to get her a doll that looks like her, AG will probably have one. These are expensive though, they run 80-120 or even more. If you want something similar but cheaper, look into Our Generation, Journey Girls, or My Life As dolls. Any of these are appropriate for younger girls like 7 or 8+. You could also just take her for a walk down the toy aisle and let her show you what she likes!

r/moderatelygranolamoms on Reddit: 1 year old - doll?
August 22, 2024 -

My youngest turns 1 in less than 2 months and we've been wracking our brains on what to get her since we sort of went gang busters with high quality toys for our eldest (think: Grimm's rainbow, wooden blocks, Pikler, etc.). We have noticed she is absolutely obsessed with this Cabbage Patch Doll our eldest doesn't care for (and truthfully, I was bringing out to see if she wanted it/if I would donate due to lack of use). She loves the hair, the face, the clothes - and loves to try chewing her hands (which I do not love :S ).

I'd love to get her a high quality doll (we do one big gift for a birthday, mayyyybe something small on the side). I was looking at a Nanchen child doll but wasn't sure if it was too 'old' for her; she will likely still mouth it BUT it will not come to bed or be used as a cuddle or stuffy (I don't think?). Not in love with Cuddle+Kind vibes. Does anyone have any doll recommendations that would suit a 1 year old? Also keeping in mind I'm in Canada, so can have more limitations with options.
