Tiko Striped Rag Dolls Set of 2 - Grey

This is a pair of elephant rag dolls, sold as a set of two, with soft grey bodies, long trunks and big floppy ears. One wears a ruffled striped collar over a simple dress, with a spotted bow between the ears; the other has a ruffled collar, striped trousers gathered at the ankle and a spotted party hat. Both are made from polyester with a polyester filling, in a woven fabric finish, and they measure 19cm tall, 18cm long and 5cm wide, weighing 0.06KG. That is a proper small rag doll size: light enough to carry about, tuck into a bag or sit side by side on a shelf.

We think they belong in a child's bedroom or playroom, where the pair can sit together on a chest of drawers, a bookshelf or the end of a bed and be lifted down whenever playtime starts. Because there are two of them, they lend themselves to make-believe: a circus parade, a party or a story told between the pair, and they are easy to share between siblings or friends. They also make a cheerful birthday present, ready to give as a matched pair.

Care is straightforward. Both dolls go in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and can be ironed on a medium heat, so a well-loved pair can be freshened up rather than put away. Polyester is hard-wearing and copes well with regular washing, which counts for a lot with a toy that gets carried everywhere. For a simple display, sit them shoulder to shoulder on a low shelf beside a few picture books, or tuck them into a small wicker basket so their ears and party hat peep over the rim.
