I am once again thrilled to bring to you a peek into the world of Maplelea Girls, a collection of dolls made to explore and celebrate the Canadian way of life! Two lovely Maplelea Girls have found a happy home here with my daughter Emily for awhile now; they are like her little BFFs. Avonlea Traditions, the makers of Maplelea Girls dolls, have been bringing these lovely little ladies to Canadian lasses for ten years now! As a parent I appreciate the high quality of these dolls and the wonderful little details each one has in their back story. The focus on Canadian traditions is admirable yet still allows the girls to be themselves, whatever that may be. Talk about Girl Power!!
Last year found MapleMouseMama reviewing the latest Maplelea offering, a Maplelea Friend doll. Emily and I had such fun playing with her that we wanted to see what other great offerings we could share with you, our wonderful readers! Maplelea Girls graciously sent us the gorgeous Maple Cabin Lodge Set and we let Taryn, Emily’s long time friend, model it for us. Isn’t it beautiful?
The set comes with the knitted sweater, scarf and mitts, which all have this adorable maple leaf pattern on them. The set also has a comfy white quilted vest with a cozy trapper hat, perfect for those cold Canadian winters. You can mix and match the whole set with various other Maplelea fashions, like the black denim skirt and leggins Taryn has on. The skirt, leggins and ice skates are sold separately, but don’t they look wonderful!?
Maplelea Girls has a wide array of outfits to choose from that cover all the seasons. These outfits can be used for their intended Girl or shared between friends. There are six Maplelea Girls with distinct backgrounds that cover Canada from the East Coast to the West, from the northern regions of Nunavut to the southern shores of Ontario. The 12 Maplelea Friends let your young princess find a doll that looks just like herself! Avonlea Traditions doesn’t stop there. These beautiful dolls come with their own journal, to add the illustrated pages that come with every outfit to. These pages contain information, stories and fun facts about your Girl and Canada. Educational and fun!
MapleMouseMama is thrilled to give our readers the chance to win a $40.00 gift card from Maplelea Girls to use towards anything in their shop! How cool is that?! You can use this gift card to purchase one of the many outfits, like the Maple Cabin Lodge Set or put it towards a new doll.

You know that I absolutely love these dolls, so the decision would be difficult. That said, if I had to choose only one, I would choose Jenna. Jenna is from Nova Scotia and loves the ocean – just like my girls!

Those dolls are cute! My daughter is 6 and would probably want one of each, (I think Saila is the cutest ;-)) Thanks for visiting my blog! The “Proud Canadian Blogger” button looks right at home here. I love your blog name.

Tammy @inRdream says
Go Canadian girls GO! My sweet daughter seven would love to see one of these under the tree! I’d pick Léonie for her, because it sound like they would have lot’s in common! Thank you for the introduction to Mapelea Girls. I know my DD7 will be happy to see them too. P.S I love The maple cabin set to pair with it!

That is awesome Tammy! It is nice to introduce people to the world of Maplelea. I hope your daughter gets to meet Leoni. Good luck!

MapleMouseMama says

Lea Adams says
I would love a Brianne doll, she looks like my daughter.
But my little girl would prefer Saila because she’s from the Northwest, and one of my girl’s best friends lives in Inuvik !
MapleMouseMama says
What a great friendship your daughter has Lea. Good luck!
Suz
Amy P. says
I like Taryn. Great to see some unique names out there.

They do have some great names Amy!
Good luck!
christy says
My daughter saved up her money to get a Maplelea Friends doll (shoulder length hair and hazel eyes… so pretty). Of the character dolls I am drawn to both Taryn and Saila. I think I would choose saila because her face mould is so unique. I just love how they all have journals a back stories. My daughter spends hours in her doll world and her imagination and language skills have really developed because of it!
MapleMouseMama says
What a great daughter you have Christy! She must love her Maplelea friend. Good luck!
Pam Duncan Rivera says
I love Saila and that outfit is adorable!
MapleMouseMama says
Great choice Pam and thank you 🙂 Good luck!
Suz
grtlyblesd says
