An earth-kind, soft, empathic doll that will last a childhood of play. And a tree responsibly planted in the doll's name. We are delighted with Rubens Barn Mini EcoBuds!
Rubens Barn began in Sweden in 1998 with two mothers who wanted to create a soft cuddly doll, with a child-like body shape and a warm, cheeky face. A comforting friend for an entire childhood. “Children should...get the opportunity to practice creativity, care and empathy through role play.” Teruko, Co-Founder of Rubens Barn
Each Rubens Barn doll is handmade - involving over 100 steps! They use 100% organic cotton for the body, hair, and clothes. The eyes are embroidered and bring the doll to life.
The dolls' filling has to date been virgin polyester plastic, but the Rubens Barn team are committed to using the most earth-kind materials, so have started an exciting project: to switch all dolls to 100% recycled polyester filling! So far only Mini EcoBuds have made the switch (and so we can stock them), but we will gradually add all their lines as they switch.
Each Mini EcoBud comes with a tree planted with non-profit One Tree Planted.
These are a super gift for babies! If buying for an older child, they go nicely with our organic-cotton kids' wrap slings!
