Okay, she really didn’t go swimming, but that is one of the great things about a Maplelea Friend doll. She can go anywhere your little princess goes and dress the part to! My daughter Emily has been only too happy to “test out” Zoey, one of the beautiful new Maplelea Friend dolls from Maplelea Girls. Emily has swimming lessons during the week so we thought it would be sweet to dress up Zoey for class to! They even match in their choice of swim suit colours. 
Now you do not want to put your Maplelea Friend in the water for real as her body is made from a very durable, soft cloth to make snuggling easier. If she gets a little dirty though, you can use a damp cloth to clean her vinyl arms, legs and face. You can read more about the creation and construction of all Maplelea dolls here.
Maplelea Girls has such a wide range of clothing and accessories for your doll to dress up in that your princess can imagine just about any play scenario there is. Swimming class is just the start for Zoey as she accompanies Emily on a few more adventures. Hmmm, I wonder what she will wear when Emily is cleaning her room.
One of the great things about a Maplelea doll is the journal that each doll has when she comes home. In the case of a Maplelea Friend doll the journal has two identical parts to it; one to create your new friends story and the other to journal your princess’s story. There are tons of prompts to help you get the story going and keep it going for a long time. Your princess can draw in her journal, create adventures, share special moments and add photos to! And all those great outfits and accessories you can buy from Maplelea Girls? Each one is accompanied by journal pages you can add to your journal! This part is really cool because it helps you to expand on your doll’s character, likes and personality. I really appreciate the opportunity this journal gives Emily to stretch her creative muscle and use her imagination.

Looks like Emily and Zoey are having fun! I’d love to win a Maplelea friend for my little girl. They’d go to ballet, gymnastics, soccer, horseback riding…

I love the swim wear that Maplelea has – I think Brianne’s is my favorite!
Maplelea does a great job of matching their swim wear to their “girls” personality. It is all very special

Both my daughters have Maplelea dolls. The dolls provide the opportunity for them share a common interest even though there is a 6 year difference in age. Instead of sharing each others clothes, they share doll’s clothes.
Girls of all ages love them and it is so nice to have the Canadian connection.
Great outlook Jackie! I think it is so important for sibs to have something in common. My two are also six years apart and they have a shared love of Doc McStuffins, LOL. It is cute to see.
Thanks for entering and good luck!

Very Excited about the Maplelea Friends dolls. So many different looks and love that girls can choose the personality themselves! we would love to win a friend . 3 girls in this house and not all have a maplelea doll.
Wow, three girls Shauna! That must be one happy household
I can imagine the atmosphere if there is a doll-less daughter around 
Maybe that will change soon.
Good luck and thanks for entering!
Suz
