Lottie Junior Reporter Sammi

Branksea School?s Sports Day is a Sports Day with a difference. We have athletics and gymnastics and team sports like football. But - because we?re so close to the beach ? we have lots of water-based activities, too. There are swimming and surfing and canoeing events. There?s even a kite-flying event near the sea cliffs! I write about everything for the Branksea School News, it?s a hectic sort of day! Boy Doll dressed in a yellow gilet, T-shirt with headphones print, jeans, dark-red trainers, denim-blue bag and a plain grey hat comes with Pen and the Edition 1 of Branksea School News. Presented in beautifully designed, brightly coloured boxes (complete with handle for easy transport) these Irish designed dolls need no wrapping and have award winning attention to detail which make them an essential addition for any doll collector.

• Lottie is a wholesome doll alternative for children aged 3-9; she is 7.5 inches (18cm) tall, so is very portable and easy for little hands to carry around.
• The key point of difference is that Lottie has a ?childlike? body ? she doesn?t wear makeup, jewelry or high heels and she can stand on her own two feet (always a useful life skill for all girls, big and small).
• She?s all about letting girls be girls, doing all the activities a child would do, not growing up too quickly, and presenting a healthy view on body image.
• Lottie?s clothing is composed of tactile fabrics with lots of attention to detail, easy to dress and undress, with velcro fastenings.
• Her hair is lovely and soft; it doesn?t tangle and knot like other doll hair.
• Lottie has bendable knees with ball socket hips and arms; her head can move side to side and she can do the splits front to back and side to side.
• Lottie is presented in a giftable, illustrated and collectible ?doll box bag?, with minimal plastic packaging.
• Launched in August 2012, she has won 12 international awards, including 3 Oppenheim Portfolio Platinum Awards.
