The wonderful thing about Maplelea Girls, Maplelea Friends and Avonlea Traditions is that they “get” what being a young lady growing up in Canada is all about. Right now that “all about” is about winter!! And the cold weather! And the need to bundle up! Zoey is one hundred percent ready in her beautiful red coat, boots and beret! Doesn’t she look smart? Your princess can dress up her special Maplelea Friend and take her outside with her knowing she is warm and snugly, just like she is. This great outfit is just another wonderful item offered by Maplelea Girls that any of their dolls can wear. Easy to put on and enjoy and easy to take care of. Even the boots have Velcro on them, LOL!
Maplelea has clothes for any season, but I was happily surprised to see they even have snow gear for their girls. Yup, snow gear! Snowsuits, boots, vests, hats, scarves, mitts, it’s all there. Even sports equipment, like hockey and skates! Your Canadian princess will feel so special when her new friend can fit right in at the rink for practice. And it doesn’t stop with winter sports. If you have a soccer player your Maplelea Friend doesn’t have to sit on the sidelines and just watch. She can play to! How about gymnastics or horseback riding? Your girl is covered with a wide range of sports to share with her friend. Isn’t nice to see a toy company promote a healthy and active life style in such a manner? Your princess will not feel pressured to be a certain way, but rather to celebrate what makes her unique! Her Maplelea Friend can offer that kind of support. I often hear Emily chatting with Taryn about their similarities and I can sense the comfort this brings her. 🙂
Make sure to check out Saila. This beautiful doll hails from Nunavut and her clothes are authentic to her heritage and to her community. Several of her traditional pieces are even made in Nunavut so that Maplelea Girls can be true to the original design. Not only is Avonlea Traditions showcasing yet another part of Canada’s diversity, but they are supporting a community by providing jobs. Way too go Avonlea Traditions!! Maplelea Girls does not leave out any detail. Saila’s journal actually comes in three languages; English, French and Inuktitut, her native tongue. Your princess will never know she is having a language lesson while playing. 🙂 How cool is that?
Your Maplelea Friend will be able to share in all of your princess’s passions and even help her discover new ones. The outfits can be tweaked to fit other interests and the cool part is your princess can write about it all in her journal! She can create new adventures and relive them for years to come. The journal is completely bi-lingual, giving your princess a chance to choose which language she uses, while remaining true to the Canadian culture. Avonlea Traditions has eluded to the idea that they will continue to add culturally diverse dolls as the company grows. This is a good news story for our children. 🙂

I absolutely love the diversity of these dolls as well. Celebrating culture and Canadian passed times – what a great way to play! I think one of my favorite outfits is the Skater Girl. I especially love the matching shoes you can get as well; the Superstar Sneakers! The new Maple Cabin Lodge Set is really cool too! Oh, the choices!! LOL! I think my favorite doll is the Maplelea Friend with layered light brown hair and blue/grey eyes. That doll most resembles my three girls! 😉
MapleMouseMama says
Caroline I was so happy to see the Maple Cabin Lodge set! How cool is that? They really have not skimped on the creativity of their offerings 🙂 Great choice on a doll to 🙂

I really like Saila from Nunavut. Her Parka outfit is so cute and I love the Nukilik and Nanuq dogs you can buy for her.
I liked Maplelea on facebook(Jonnie JB Hartling) and twitter(edmontonjb) and liked you on facebook as well.
MapleMouseMama says
Thanks for entering Jonnie. I think Saila is pretty amazing. They sure picked a winner with that one. And how cool that some of her clothes are actually made in Nunavut?
Good luck

My small one loves the toboggan! She’d love to dress a Maplelea friend in a snowsuit and boots–they would be so much fun, even if it rarely snows here.
MapleMouseMama says
The winter gear is great! The colours are vibrant and everything a girl would want for herself..

Stephanie says
I would choose Brianne for my daughter because they have the same hair colour. I know she would love the “Splish Splash Sparkle” accessories, and the “Ribbons and Lace”
MapleMouseMama says

Thanks for entering and good luck!
