Götz Girls – Standing Dolls as Best friends

Hard Body or Soft Body Dolls - What's the Right Choice for Standing Dolls?

When choosing a standing doll, you are faced with an important decision: Should it have a hard body or a soft body? Each of these options offers specific advantages and characteristics that make them ideal for different needs and preferences of the child.

Hard body dolls are made of vinyl and impress with their full posability. Each doll can be individually posed, making them the ideal playmate for children. The sturdy nature of the material ensures that the dolls are durable and easy to care for. Simply wipe them with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and the standing doll looks good as new. These characteristics make Götz's hard body dolls an excellent choice for children who enjoy placing their dolls in different roles and scenarios.

In contrast to hard body dolls, soft body dolls have a cuddly body complemented by vinyl arms and legs. This combination makes soft body dolls particularly cuddly and ideal for younger children who like to hug their dolls and take them to bed. A major advantage of soft body dolls is their ease of care - they are both washing machine and dryer safe, making them a practical companion in everyday life.

Large Dolls with Hair for Creative Playtime

In the world of play, dolls with hair are an absolute highlight. At Götz, we offer a great selection of large dolls with hair that have been specially designed to promote children's creativity and fine motor skills. These dolls not only invite role-playing but also offer countless opportunities to develop hairstyling skills.
Only high-quality hair with a natural appearance is used for our standing dolls. The hair is sewn into the doll's head and is very durable. Children can easily wash, style, and comb it.

Götz Care Tip:
The doll's hair can be washed with a mild shampoo in lukewarm water. After washing, the hair can be combed and styled. Then, it can be air-dried or blow-dried.

Care Instructions for Standing Dolls – Learning to Care for and Nurture Playfully

Proper care ensures that standing dolls remain in good condition for a long time, and they can even be passed down to accompany multiple generations through childhood. However, during play, it's common for the little companion to get dirty or tangled hair. But there's no need to worry! Taking care of standing dolls is easy.

• Hard-bodied standing dolls can be cleaned with mild shower gel and a damp cloth, while their hair can be washed with a mild shampoo and dried in the air or with a hairdryer.
• Soft-bodied standing dolls can be washed in the washing machine and dried in the dryer or air-dried. Ideally, place the standing doll in a color-neutral pillowcase to ensure material protection.

Appropriate Clothing and Accessories for Large Dolls

Choosing the right clothing and accessories is essential to enrich and personalize the playing experience with dolls. With the variety of outfits and accessories available, children can not only change the appearance of their standing dolls but also their roles and the scenarios they play.

Clothing for large dolls offers numerous opportunities for creative play. Whether it's a fancy dress, casual everyday wear, or riding attire – each outfit contributes to allowing the doll to embody different characters. This not only fosters children's imagination but also their ability to empathize and role-play various life situations.

Accessories such as hats, headbands, glasses, and shoes complement the wardrobe of standing dolls and provide children with additional tools to emphasize the individuality of each doll further. This type of accessory not only helps sharpen aesthetic sensibilities but also improves motor skills, as putting on and taking off smaller accessories requires fine motor skills and dexterity.
The sizing of Götz doll clothing varies depending on the type of doll to ensure optimal fit and functionality. For standing dolls like Hannahs, Precious Day Girls, and Happy Kidz, clothing in size XL (45-50 cm) is ideal, while Little Kidz fit best into size XM (36 cm). The smaller Just Like Me dolls, on the other hand, require clothing in size XS (25-30cm).

For every season, we offer an extensive selection of matching clothing for large dolls: light and colorful outfits for spring and summer, as well as warm and cozy clothing for autumn and winter. Furthermore, our range expands thematically into various doll worlds, ensuring there's something for every interest. Whether it's festive dresses and accessories for Christmas and winter, enchanting costumes for the world of magic and ballet, or special gear for adventures – we have the perfect outfit and accessories for every standing doll to make the playing experience even more authentic and varied.

To find the perfect outfit or accessory for each individual Götz doll, our accessory finder on our website provides a user-friendly solution.
