Heart for Heart Girls Announce New Dolls

Girls can make a difference and change the world…and it starts with a doll! The Hearts For Hearts Girls, which is a charitable doll line and fashion collection from Playmates Toys, seeks to empower girls to become agents of change in their communities, their countries and around the world. The line features six dolls that represent real girls from real places all over the world.

Each authentically dressed and lifelike doll has her own story to share and is working to change her community in ways unique to her home country. For example, Consuelo is based on one beautiful real life girl from Mexico who helps hungry children living in the streets of her community. Her parents own a bakery, and Consuelo decides to open a “cafĂ©” where hungry children can come for unsold baked goods at the end of the day.

Girl power is global, and Hearts For Hearts Girls help youngsters see how they can make a difference at any age. Girls can help others in need simply through the purchase of a doll. When you buy a Hearts For Hearts Girls doll, a portion of the purchase price is donated to children’s causes in that doll’s country. Playmates Toys is working with non-profit partner World Vision to make this possible.

The Hearts For Hearts Girls come to life with a fully interactive website that lets girls discover different cultures, hear about girls just like them and learn about how they too can make an impact. Each doll comes with a special code that lets girls unlock a free membership to the kid-safe website at www.hearts4heartsgirls.com. All girls are welcome to visit the website, but the special code that comes with purchase provides access to a larger array of games and also lets girls create their own “my Heart” page which displays things they care about and ways in which they want to help other girls or their own communities.


These dolls make a perfect gift for parents who are looking for unique and interactive ways to expose their daughters to different countries and cultures,” said Gina Beebe, SVP, Girls Marketing of Playmates Toys. “The dolls are also an excellent way for parents to teach their children about the importance of giving to those who are less fortunate.”

The 14 inch dolls retail for an affordable $29.99 each and are intended for girls ages 6 and up.

My Take on The Doll
I was able to review the doll Lauryce and I have to say that the doll itself was wonderfully constructed in my girls loved her outfit ( which I know is a little bit petty). As a parent I loved the story behind the doll and what this story says about the doll itself but also about the company. The idea of girls helping other girls is a great one and one that I want to share my own daughters. these dolls open the door for parents to have meaningful conversations with their own daughters about the area that the doll is from as well as providing a great conversation piece about the fact that with each total doll purchase you also are supporting children's causes in the country in which the doll is from.
