Once Upon A Treehouse

This wonderful company was founded by 2 sisters and all the eco friendly dolls and dollhouses are handcrafted in Latvia(EU) or the USA. With each doll you purchase, you become a “Fairy Dollmother” and a 2nd doll is gifted to a child in need. My girls love these dolls and we’ve had them for over 2 years and they’ve held up well, despite the efforts of my destructive spirited toddler. Be sure to let your child watch the videos on the website about the doll making process, they’re interesting and help them make real world connections with manufacturing!

For each bottle purchased, a school child in a developing community receives safe drinking water for an entire year. The bottle is popular among outdoor enthusiasts as it comes equipped with a unique carbon filtration system that cleans water from natural resources.

 

 

Cuddle and Kind

HUGE favorite at my house, my younger daughters both have a doll and each doll purchased provides 10 meals to a child in need and the company goal is giving a minimum of 1,000,000 meals per year. Perfect baby shower, first Christmas or even for an older child, who doesn’t love a sweet doll to love?
