Doll for my baby boy - either wooden or rag doll - good online shops To try?

[sushistar]

DS is nearly 8 months, and fascinated by dolls. He has loads of teddys, but I want to get him a nice doll - he loves the ones at coffee mornings!
I would really like a wooden doll, with a cloth body, but failing that a rag doll. Around 25 cm tall - certainly not more than 30cm, or we won't be able to put it in the buggy along with ds. Preferably a blond boy doll, not too girly or dh will veto it.
I've searched, but can't find anything - can anyone help me?

bump bump?

Just googled and found these which I think are adorable! Will keep looking!

Builder doll!

'Jake!'

That's all I've got atm!

I made my children rag dolls from Nicole Ellison patterns- here. They absolutely love them.
She will make them to order.

Lottie, loving the sailors, might get them...
Pinky, sorry, but those dolls are strange! I think i must be a traditionalist when it comes to dolls

Oh they're gorgeous aren't they! Might have a look to see if they've got any lady sailors lol for dd! And they seem to be very reasonable, especially if you're getting two.

He's a great doll for california!
I've decided against the sailors - I don't want sailors, I want a boy with normal clothes and blonde hair I think.
Hmmm, I might have to get the sewing machine out...

ahh they are primitive dolls.

how about these

Etsy has quite a few. This one is sweet

I would make him myself, if you enjoy it.

this guy is very cute here he looks such a straight-up guy!

I like those first ones Pinky! That looks just right. I'ss see if I get a minute to make him one, but if not I'll get one of those. Thanks!

Are they primitave cos they look like poeple?

ok so this chap is sort of blonde here

definitely off to bed now.

He's HIDEOUS pinky!

well they are a style of raggedy ann/andy doll that is evocative of the old American handmade dolls, especially from the 1930's upwards, and they are meant to look old and preloved.

I would go for a cloth doll. DS has a very old inherited wooden japanese doll that has to be put out of reach as it does become a bit of a lethal weapon at times.

hehe I like the quirky dolls. You can get some really freaky ones. I think you definitely want a nice traditional rag doll.. shame the mamas and papas site doesn't have a boy one, their girl ones are very sweet

She's lovely. Yes, I think I'd be too scared of those other dolls even if ds liked them!

My son (9months) has a Tommee Tippee one that I got 2nd hand on ebay for about £3 and he loves it.
Here's
it is

This site Nice Toy Shop has a really good range of rag dolls with lots of boys.

i got my little boy one from tesco last week....blonde with a football on his dungarees...it was £1.50!

the doll is cloth and quite cute...my 2 yo loves him!

ty beanies do nice boy dolls...

here, for example

I like these

ds1 has 'Ferdinand' (some will know the significance of that )

Myriad do some really nice ones but they can be expensive. There is a lovely night time doll in the bath and bed section.
