Neuroscientists from Cardiff University have found that doll play could benefit children with varying social communication styles, including those who display neurodivergent traits commonly associated with autism. In the study the play was split into different sections so the Cardiff team could capture the brain activity relating to each kind of play separately - playing with the dolls on their own; playing with the dolls together with another person (a research assistant); playing with the tablet game on their own and playing with the tablet game along with another person (a research assistant). Soph 'Quite difficult to put together and the seat isn't designed for a baby annabell but rather a lighter doll. Ideal for a lighter doll.'

They found that doll play - either alone or in a group – is related to brain activity associated with social processing among children with and without high levels of autistic traits, albeit through different approaches to play. You can further inspire the celebration of diversity in your early years setting by enhancing your school’s doll collection with dolls with Down’s syndrome as well. Children enjoy having toys that they can identify with and these dolls allow children with Down’s syndrome to experience having a doll “just like me”. By adding dolls with Down’s syndrome to your early year’s environment, children will also be able to gain a better understanding and acceptance of those with disabilities. Kezzajayne 'Brought this for my four year old daughter and she loves it. Endless play and all folds away nicely to store away! Only downside would be the changing mat is a bit of cardboard to sit on top of where the bath sits and if you use a heavier dolly or don’t sit just right it falls through! Maybe needs to be made a bit bigger to fit!'

Linzi 'Really easy to assemble and although takes up a bit of space when up it folds out of the way at night. Lots of different items to add to the play experience'Jem 'An amazing gift for any child who loves dolls and babies. It has everything they need to look after their own baby!' Lead author Dr Sarah Gerson, a senior lecturer at Cardiff University’s Centre for Human Developmental Science, said: “This is a completely new finding. The fact that we saw the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) to be active in our study shows that playing with dolls is helping them rehearse some of the social skills they will need in later life. Because this brain region has been shown to play a similar role in supporting empathy and social processing across six continents, these findings are likely to be country agnostic.” Busby 'This was a present for my little Granddaughters birthday. She loved it. A great price and she is having heaps of fun with it. Very pleased.' Dolls for pretend play should be inclusive and offered with equal respect as part of all children’s similarities and differences.
