Baby Doll Talking Tammy
Tammy will make a treasured companion, who feels and sounds just like a real baby.
Activity Ideas
- Undress doll and get a bowl of soapy water. Ask the person if they would like to wash Tammy's outfit - while doing so, chat about how they did their washing-did they use a bar of soap and so it by hand or machine. How did they feel when they got their first twin tub? Ask them to peg out Tammy's outfit and when dry, dress him again.
- Provide a shallow box and a couple of tea towels. See if the person would like to make a bed for Tammy. Sing a few nursery rhymes - how many can you remember? (Rock-a-bye-Baby, Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet).
- Provide a plastic bowl and spoon nearby - see if the person will try to 'feed' the doll. If so, talk about what type of food babies like? If the person wants some real food, put a little yoghurt in the bowl (this is easily wiped off and will not stain).
Press her arms, legs and tummy for 21 realistic baby sounds.
Bean filled bottom allows her to sit upright and eyes close when laid down to sleep.
Tammy comes with her own romper suit, hat, bottle and dummy.
Washable face, hands and feet. Rest of bean filled body sponge clean. Removable clothes for washing.
NB: Always introduce a doll gradually. Seat on a chair and allow the person to get used to it, picking it up and nursing it in their own time. If they show no interest, never try to push it on their lap. If the person becomes very attached, ensure others do not take it away or play with it as this can cause upset and jealousy.
