Qiaunci Jones - Hijabs for Dolls




It's that same intention that led the Pittsburgh-area mom to be sure Grace's dolls reflect everyone. "We make it a point to be very deliberate in her doll collection," Fetterman said. "We want them to look like the world." Her daughter has dolls from all over that reflect different racial backgrounds, she said. Grace even has a doll in a wheelchair.
But one day, Fetterman noticed Grace didn't have any Muslim dolls. She asked her Muslim friend, Safaa Bokhari, if her daughter had any dolls with hijabs. She didn't, but Bokhari loved the idea

This relates to the idea of the idea of how unrealistic dolls are and now more and more they are gaining controversy. The making of more realistic , lifelike dolls have become popular. Also, they are creating dolls that are in different skin colors and body shapes. I think this is important to share because girls need to know that there isn't just a regular standard, and whatever they are is ok.
