Excellent question.  Yes, they do!  All my Forest Friends dolls have the same body size, which makes sharing clothes super easy.  Besides, friends love to share and borrow, right?  We have designed our hats to be interchangeable, too.  Any future article of clothing that is animal-specific will be carefully noted as such in the shop.

Our Forest Friends dolls are stuffed with clean, hypo-allergenic virgin poly hollow fill.  This material will stay “springy” over the long hall, even when washed.  Your dolls should maintain their shape and huggable nature for years to come.

Yes, from time-to-time we do.  Custom orders may take several weeks to complete.  Please contact me directly to discuss the details.

We treat ever order as extra-special!  The packaging inside the box will be suitable for a gift.  The doll’s cost will only be written on the invoice that you are emailed, not anywhere in the shipment itself.  If you would like a special hand-written note included in the box, please note that in the comments section of your order.

My Forest Friends dolls appeal to customers of every age.  Really, who wouldn’t love a Forest Friend?

Forest Friends with button-on tails are not recommended for children under three years of age.

Naked dolls without button-on tails are safe for young children.  Please keep in mind that babies and toddlers like to put things in their mouths, though, so take care to remove any clothing or accessories which might pose a choking hazard.
