Baby Thando, whom our little Phoebe renamed "Sarah", was her first doll and she fell in love with it from the get-go. We loved that it has the same skin tone, and although we do not speak Zulu, it is a pleasure for her to interact with a doll that is familiar to her own surroundings. The doll baby has a soft body and we would have loved the face, arms and feet tobe a softer plastic as well. This is because she has had a few unpleasant and sore interactions with the face. Her being 5 in age, I would be a little uneasy with allowing smaller ones playing with it. It comes with a spoon, fork, plate, bottle and a dummy all in beautiful flower designs. This has really encouraged her imaginery playtime to be more fun and interactive as she gets to talk to her doll, feed her, listen to her, carry her, make her sleep and make tea-parties along with her. I would have rated it a full 5 but am still hung on the harder plastic the face is made of eventhough some parents argue that since its a baby doll and played with by girls, they wouldnt necessarily get hurt etc. Yes girls tend to player in more gentle ways, but it does not mean as a parent, I should not be concerned about their overall safety in toy usages. Lastly, an A+ for the African language, very impressive. I wish more of our languages can be added so that we all can be covered.
