Rediscover fun with dolls! 🪆🎎🧸
Note:
Not to be confused with World Doll Day
on the second Saturday in June
More Than Just Playthings
Dolls aren’t just portable companions for our childhood adventures. Dolls have been around longer than most of our favorite 80s sitcoms. Historically, they’ve been everything from fertility symbols to fashion icons, reflecting cultural trends and sparking imaginations for countless generations.
The Origin of Doll Day
The idea for Doll Day was created by Lanetta J. Sprott, who, in 2011, decided that dolls needed their own day of appreciation.
Doll Day is all about playing with your dolls (or action figures if you like that word better), reconnecting with your inner child and letting go of adulting for a few precious hours.
Celebrating Doll Day
Dust off your probably neglected dolls (and maybe even that creepy porcelain doll your grandma gave you) and let the fun times begin. Host a tea party, stage a mini fashion show or create a dramatic soap opera worthy of daytime TV.
Don’t have a doll? Create your new doll! Paper dolls, sock puppets or put a fancy bow tie on your finest wooden spoon.
Remember the hours you spent crafting elaborate storylines for your dolls?
Take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the role dolls played in your childhood.
Feeling generous? Share the joy by gifting a doll to a special someone or a child in need.
After all, who doesn’t love a good surprise?
It’s a great way to share the joy.
So, in the spirit of Doll Day, go ahead and have fun.
If anyone questions your sanity , simply whip out your phone, point it at this very article and declare that Wild Calendar gave you permission and invite them to join the fun!
Instant conversation starter!
Ready, Set, Play!
Whether you’re a kid, a kid at heart or just someone who appreciates the simple pleasures in life, we hope you have a fantastic fun filled Doll Day. It’s a reminder that play is essential at any age.
Now go forth and play like there’s no tomorrow!
After all, a little doll play is the perfect antidote to a world gone slightly mad.
Have a Happy Doll Day!
