The amazing Lilydoll range from Manhattan toys is the pinnacle of a thousand years of doll production.
Dolls have been around for far longer than most would think, archaeological evidence placing dolls as foremost candidate for oldest known toy, having been found in Egyptian tombs which date to as early as 2000 BC. In Egypt, as well as Greece and Rome, it was common to find them in the graves of children, these were mainly made from wood, however, among the wealthier families, pottery dolls were also found.
Many suggest that dolls were around even before 2000 BC, going further back to prehistoric times, and were probably made from materials such as clay, mud, fur, wood, etc.
A doll is a toy often made in the likeness of a human baby or child, although dolls are also made in the likeness of human adults, animals, or fictional creatures (e.g. troll dolls). Dolls can be made out of almost any material, but both cloth and plastic are popular in doll-making. Lilydoll is constructed from fabric making them incredibly gentle to cuddle and easy to wash
Famous doll brands include Lilydoll, Barbie, Sindy, Groovy Girls and Brats.
In recent years dolls have become increasingly more sophisticated and 'cool'. The advent of the lilydoll range saw dolls have wardrobes of high fashion clothes, snowboards, tennis sets and more. Lilydoll has riding apparel and even her own horse calliope.
This change in sophistication mimics the change in childrens attitudes and maturity. Kids these days expect some much more than the children of yesteryear.
However lilydoll is keeping pace with changes in fashion, society and style ensuring she'll stay popular for some time to come.
