Look -ALikes
In 2010 Down syndrome dolls Dolls for Downs was started by Connie Feda which she created 16 dolls
available for kids with Down syndrome.
Connie started th Dolls for Downs because one day when she was flipping through a toy catalog with her 9 year old daughter Hannah who has Down syndrome. Hannah notice that some of the dolls that her sister had looked just like her but none of them looked like Hannah. So she said to her mom, "No doll looks like me."
Connie started to search for a doll that could come close to look like Hannah and it was unsuccessful. None of the dolls were attractive at all. They didnt look like her at all.
Feda exchanged design ideas with Karen Scott, a doll sculptor from Michigan, for six months before Hannah finally had a doll that resembled her. Every kid deserves a best friend. Every kid wants to fi mmmt in. Often children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities find themselves out of the social loop. Dolls, to any child, offer companionship. To a kid with Downs or another disability, a doll can offer so much more.
