At 14”, it is just the right size for a child's little arms - perfect for cuddling, mothering and copying what grown-ups do when caring for their babies.

The doll's face, arms and legs are made of delicately vanilla-scented, soft-touch vinyl. Its soft body means it can move easily and even sit up “all on its own”. It can keep its thumb in its mouth. With its sleeping eyes, it falls asleep when put down on its back.

Lilou is dressed in a top and trousers, and is also wearing a headband and ballet flats.
