Soft toys for Black girls and boys
The next time you’re gift shopping for your nine year-old niece, don’t pick the last doll on the supermarket shelf. Pick Amaris: dark skin the shade of the birthday girl herself, twinning with the Afro hair too. She’s a mirror image, a mini-me. (If anyone asks, she was custom-made.) She’s the role model your niece needed. And the representation all Black children deserve.
Amaris and Chaya are the Black and brown dolls we wish we had growing up. But for your daughter, your nephew, your little sister? This is just the beginning. Creator Temi’s flipping the script, paving the way for a world of Black toys. From Amaris and Chaya to Kobe, Imani and more: this the representation kids of colour have been waiting for.
