Win a Handmade Doll From HandCrafting Justice

Handcrafted Fair Trade Reversible Dolls

Last Christmas, when Baby Diva opened this gift from her great grandmother, I just gasped! Little Red Riding Hood is so beautifully handcrafted and I adore how she helps tell a favorite fairy tale.

This doll is part of a collection of reversible dolls, also known as topsy turvy dolls, that turn into other characters when you turn them around. Turn Red Riding Hood upside down and she becomes Grandma. Spin Grandma around, and she is the wolf.

When I found out that she is part of HandCrafting Justice, a project of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd promoting economic independence for women in the developing world, I knew I had to share these wonderful handmade items with our readers.

These twelve inch cloth dolls are handmade in Thailand at a fair wage and tested to the highest safety standards in Britain–and they are fabulously fun for play, too!

Purchase from HandCrafting Justice

The Little Red Riding Hood Reversible Doll ($25), a lovely selection of other handmade toys, clothes and accessories, and other gifts are available at HandCrafting Justice.

    I know you wanted me to talk about something that was not pictured on the post, but I have to say….the Little Red Riding Hood/Big Bad Wolf doll brings back memories. 30 some years ago, my sister and I had one. I think it was also handmade. I love it! How awesome it would be to share that with my 4 year old!

    reversible dolls? wow! What a great idea! I wouldn’t have ever thought of that. I would love to win this for my daughter! I’m sure she would just love it!
    Besides little red riding hood…my other favorites are the doctor kit & noahs ark.
    The ABC wall hanging item I actually have! Mind came as a kit and I had to sew all the letters on and cut out all the pieces, sew them together and put a tiny bit of stuffing into each one to give it some shape. It’s a really cool item and it helped tremendously with my youngest prior to starting kindergarten. ;)
