## Description

Product Description It will be love at first sight when this adorable, soft-bodied baby doll comes home, At 12 inches long, Jenna is an ideal size for toddlers 18 months and older to hug, cuddle, and care for. She has molded plastic hair and wipe-clean arms, legs, and face. Jenna closes her bright blue eyes as she is rocked to sleep and when she lies down and opens them when she is picked up. Young mommies and daddies can comfort Jenna by helping her to suck her thumb or the included pacifier. Her beautifully stitched pink romper and matching infant bonnet are removable. Quality craftsmanship ensures endless hours of pretend play and a baby doll that will remain a favorite for years to come. Jenna is a great baby doll to help toddlers express themselves and to encourage imaginative play. Doll play develops cognitive and fine motor skills as children practice removing and putting on clothing, helping her to suck her thumb and pacifier, and moving her arms and legs. Children learn language skills as they talk to Jenna and caring for their baby doll helps foster nurturing skills and responsibility. Doll play also helps self-esteem and confidence grow by leaps and bounds. Jenna is just waiting for a child to call her “Mine to Love”, For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play.

Review: As good as the American Girl baby doll - Short version: As good as the American Girl baby doll, but is a much better size for the very young. Long version: Cons: None. Pros: Great, lifelike face. Some have big eyes that we think are cute, but that scare babies because their instincts recognize that there is something wrong - the proportions aren’t right. Soft, cuddly body. Hard plastic bodies are rigid, making snuggling difficult, & don’t have the softness of a baby. This soft body makes the doll just slightly flopsy, which brings out the maternal instincts in a little girl (& I assume, the paternal instincts in a little boy) because it seems more like a helpless baby. Lift her up or turn her over & she isn’t rigid. My almost 7-yr-old granddaughter has many dolls that she likes a lot, but the one she has similar to this (which is no longer for sale) is her favorite because it feels more like a real baby than the others do. Eyes that open & close. Greatly enhances pretending it’s asleep or awake. More lifelike. Babies absolutely love opening & closing those eyelids with their little fingers, & it’s good for dexterity practice. Arms & legs (like the face) are easy to clean, & because of the contrast in material between them & the body, the limbs will at times flop a little, making the baby more lifelike. Perfect size. Not long ago I discovered the American Girl baby doll. I came close to buying it because it meets all the above criteria, but it’s a little too big for a 1-yr-old. This doll is 2 inches shorter & is the perfect size for rocking, cuddling, carrying. Clothes. Well made, soft, cute. The sleeper is a cuddlier look than other outfits, so is what I choose first for little girl’s dolls (if I have a choice), adding other clothes when they are almost old enough to change their own doll’s clothes. Mouth. Cute that it’s thumb or it’s pacifier can stay in its mouth. The open mouth also makes feeding it a bottle more enjoyable because the tip of the bottle wedges a little in the mouth instead of just sliding right off the doll's face. This wasn't on my list of criteria, but I'm so pleased with it. Price. I payed about $20 & consider it a great deal since it has the same features as the expensive American Girl doll & is a better size. Sometime after Black Friday weekend was over (2015), it was selling for about $13 for a little while. Cons: None
Review: She’s a sweet little thing! - Little Jenna is the perfect size for her new 1yo momma on her 1st birthday. She has a pretty face, sweet appearance, and soft cuddly body. She was the devil to get because desertcart is struggling to pull orders together right now, but that’s an desertcart issue not Melissa and Doug product issue. My biggest complaint with little Jenna is her lazy eye, which makes her slightly creepy to me. I would have requested an exchange, but desertcart has put us in a bind by delivering our original order to the wrong address (now lost somewhere out in never never land) and then our subsequent orderSSS didn’t get delivered on time as promised. I’m hoping her new momma won’t be put off by the lazy eye problem. Somewhat disappointed, but overall she is great quality and perfect for a first baby doll. UPDATE: Of all the gifts and baby dolls our little grand received at her party, she was instantly attached and enamored with this one. I highly recommend her for little hands.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does she have hair under the cap? What color is it? I wish they had a pic without the cap on.**
A: No she doesn’t have hair under her cap.

**Q: I want to order this doll but the reviews about the smell are disturbing. Have you made any changes about the scent?**
A: I guess she did have a mild baby perfume scent to her.  Kind of nice, not at all disturbing.  We have had her a little over a year now so there is barely barely any of this scent left.  Not like the Corolle dolls we have that keep their 'vanilla' fragrance forever!!  My now two year old actually just got the Melissa and Doug Annie drink and wet doll yesterday.  She has the mild perfume too.  You really have to get right next to the doll, like with your nose right on her to smell it at all.

**Q: I need to know what the appropriate age group is for this doll. Is it appropriate for a 1-year old?**
A: Yes!! We got this doll for my 6 month old. She is one now and has absolutely loved the doll! She hugs her, kisses her, and puts her in a baby stroller.

**Q: Is there a change of clothes available for this baby?**
A: no ... there is not ... but its great for a one year old child that probably cannot manipulate changing clothes on a baby doll anyway.  my one year old granddaughter loves this baby doll ...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy customer!
*by A***M on September 29, 2011*

I gave this doll to my daughter on her first birthday. I picked it because I wanted a doll that was simple and soft, yet realistic and had eyes that open and close. I wasn't too sure that I would like it's size... and sure enough a 12" is pretty small. But for the size of my one-year-old it turned out to be perfect. If she were any bigger, than it would be hard for my little girl to hang on to her, especially with one hand. My daughter responded so cute to this gift. She started kissing this doll and hugging her tight and patting her. I love the smell of this scented doll, as well. I know others were turned off by her scent, but to me it just smells like baby powder-ish and is actually one of my favorite things about this doll. Another thing I love about this choice is her outfit. So many baby dolls come in cheap ugly clothing, but this one comes in a quality-made and adorable little sleeper and hat. When the outfit got dirty, I threw it in the wash and it came out great. (I didn't dry it, because I didn't know if it would shrink.) My daughter loves to pull the little hat off and then try to put it back on. Another plus: The soft body of this doll is peachy-colored to look like skin tones instead of just plain white. The features are just cute. She "sucks" her thumb... a favorite option or her pacifer (not crazy about that feature... especially since my daughter wanted to suck on it, too and it fit ALL the way in her mouth... so that was just put away until she's old enough to understand not to do that). This doll doesn't have any hair that tangles or any electronics, just gorgeous blue eyes, beautiful and sturdy eyelashes, cute toes and enough sweetness to win any girl's heart. I would recommend completely as long as you put up the pacifier, don't mind a scented doll and are happy with a bit smaller size than the average doll. Thank you for reading my review. Looking forward to many happy years with our new little "baby!"
