Create, Connect, and Give with a Ready to beBorn®Doll Kit
The Magnolia Awake Ready to beBorn® kit is a meaningful therapy doll-making activity created for long-term care homes, memory care and dementia programs, community groups, schools, and families.
More than a traditional craft, our Ready to beBorn® kits combine the joy of creating with the comfort and companionship of a finished weighted therapy doll. Participants enjoy a hands-on activity and finish with a beautiful newborn-sized doll they can keep, enjoy, or give to someone special.
Please Note: Outfits May Vary
Each doll is individually dressed with care. Clothing will be selected according to your Girl, Boy, or Surprise Me choice, but the exact outfit may vary from the one shown in the photos depending on current availability. Every doll will arrive in a complete, thoughtfully selected outfit.
A Wonderful Activity for Long-Term Care
Ready to beBorn® kits offer a unique "Make & Give" opportunity for long-term care and senior living communities. Residents who enjoy creative, hands-on activities can take part in making a doll and then choose to gift their finished therapy doll to another resident who may benefit from additional comfort, companionship, or sensory support.
It is a beautiful way to bring creativity, purpose, connection, and giving together in one activity.
Doll-making can also encourage conversation, reminiscence, social interaction, and a sense of accomplishment. The activity can be enjoyed individually, with a caregiver or family member, or as part of a group, recreation, or intergenerational program.
Magnolia, an Awake Newborn to Create and Love
Magnolia has a friendly awake expression, realistic vinyl head, hands, and feet, and a soft cloth body. Her vinyl limbs allow her to remain soft and cuddly while still showing her beautifully detailed hands and feet.
Once assembled and weighted, Magnolia becomes a comforting newborn-sized therapy doll that is wonderful for holding, nurturing, sensory engagement, and companionship.
Our Ready to beBorn® kits include the components needed to create your doll, making them an approachable choice for activity programs and first-time doll makers.
Magnetic Pacifier Safety Notice: For memory care, senior care, and long-term care environments, we recommend choosing the "No Magnetic Pacifier" option. To ensure safety around pacemakers and other implanted medical devices, our ready-to-assemble doll kits do not include head magnets by default.
If you are assembling a doll for a setting where magnets are safe, we are happy to include them! Simply select the "Magnetic Pacifier" option when ordering your kit, and we will install the head magnet before shipping.
More Than a Doll-Making Kit
Whether Magnolia is created in a long-term care home activity, dementia or memory care program, school, community group, or at home with family, Ready to beBorn® kits turn doll-making into something even more meaningful.
Create it. Love it. Gift it. Comfort.
