Is this a good first doll for a toddler?

Yes. It is designed for ages 18 months and up, and the soft, light body is easy for small children to hold and cuddle.

Can you change the doll's clothes?

No. The one-piece pajama outfit and sleep hat are part of the doll and are not made to be removed.

Does the doll really smell like vanilla?

Yes. The vinyl skin is scented with vanilla. The scent is light but noticeable, and some sensitive children or parents may prefer an unscented doll.

How does it compare with larger Corolle Calin dolls?

It is the same style of soft-bodied baby doll in a smaller 12-inch size, which suits younger toddlers better than the larger Calin models.

What comes in the box?

The doll in its pajama outfit with the matching sleep hat.

Can the doll sit or stand?

No. The bead-filled body is floppy, so the doll lies and cuddles rather than sitting or standing upright.

Our take on the Corolle Calin Charming Pastel 12" Doll

The Corolle Calin Charming Pastel is a 12-inch first baby doll for children 18 months and up. Its bead-filled body is soft and floppy, so a toddler can cradle and pose it like a real baby. The vinyl skin is lightly vanilla-scented and the eyes close when the doll lies down. It is smaller and lighter than Corolle's larger Calin and Bebe dolls, which suits very young children, and it comes dressed in a one-piece pajama set with a matching sleep hat.
