5 Best Dolls to Buy for Baby Girls

Dolls have existed for a very long time, going all the way back to ancient civilisations of Egypt, Greece and Rome.  Then, the first dolls were used as crude playthings and usually made of rudimentary materials such as clay, wood or stone.  

We have come a long way since then, with modern dolls evolving into more sophisticated looking and definitely more huggable playthings for little girls! 

Here is a list of 5 pretty dolls that you wouldn’t want to miss when searching for a birthday or baby gift for a little princess!
