Selma - doll with Dysmeli

595 kr

Hello, my name is Selma!

I was born with something called Dysmelia which in my case means I was born without a right hand. Did you know that one of the world's most famous dysmelists is Nemo in "Finding Nemo"? He calls his one slightly smaller fin the lucky fin. I love being with my grandma and grandpa. I also love to climb, jump around, do crafts and sing!

In Sweden, 60 children are born with Dysmelia per year.

Selma is 36 cm tall.

We at Watoto arts want to improve the toy market by challenging norms and creating conditions for inclusive play that develops children's creativity, emotional intelligence and empathy.

Through our short and durable production, we can offer dolls of different skin colors, different hair colors and different functional variations and disabilities. Use our dolls to put together your own doll family, could it be a rainbow family or a funky family?

We see our dolls as a tool to neutralize society's norms and contribute to a safer future. The dolls are therefore designed to encourage children (and adults) to talk about cultural-ethnic-religious- and functional-variations while highlighting that we are equally valuable.

Description

The doll has a soft and cuddly shape with a kind facial expression. She provides many opportunities for open-ended play, training of fine motor skills, empathy and sensory stimulation. The doll is available in four different skin colors, including white, brown and black. They are made from 100% cotton fabric, have embroidered facial features and are filled with 100% global recycled standard polyester filling.

Washing advice

Hand wash 30° C
