Grandparents, Get Ready to Be Amazed: The New Baby Dolls Are Here!

If you haven’t shopped for dolls lately, get ready to be amazed — dolls have come a long way since we were kids!

Today’s interactive baby dolls don’t just look cute — they talk, giggle, coo, drink, cry, and even sing! They invite children into imaginative play that’s full of sound, movement, and nurturing.

At BestDollsForKids.com, we carry several of these wonderful new dolls that make perfect gifts for your grandchildren — and they’re no more expensive than regular dolls.

Meet Missy Kissy — the Star of the Show

  • Missy Kissy by JC Toys is one of the most feature-rich dolls we’ve ever seen — an incredible 10-piece set with eight touch-activated features!
  • Once you pop in three AA batteries, Missy Kissy greets you with a cheerful song and asks for a kiss. Give her one, and she’ll ask to be fed.
  • Feed her with her bottle of water and you’ll hear adorable suckling sounds.
  • When she’s “full,” she burps and asks you to pat her back — then it’s potty time!
    Place her on her potty (the magnets inside make the magic happen), and she’ll hear tinkling and another happy little song.
  • After playtime, she asks for bedtime — give her the pacifier, lay her down, and her sleepy eyes close while she plays a lullaby.
  • It’s like caring for a real baby — and kids absolutely love it.
