Maplelea Girls, All-Canadian Dolls {A Great Canadian Blog Bash Giveaway}



I couldn't think of a more perfect sponsor for The Great Canadian Blog Bash then the Maplelea Girls! These all-Canadian 18" vinyl dolls are simply awesome.

Meet the Maplelea Girls!

 
Taryn of Banf, Alberta

Brianne of Sandy Lake, Manitoba

 Alexi of Toronto, Ontario

 Jenna of Lunennurg, Nova Scotia

 Léonie of Quebec City, Quebec

 Saila of Iqaluit, Nunavut


Why you want one:
These 18" vinyl play dolls are high quality, sturdy, and made with an incredible attention to detail. Each Maplelea Girl has different interests, lives in a different part of Canada and has different stories to share with her new owner via her accompanying journal. We recently welcomed Saila into out home and G-Girl is utterly enchanted with her.

The Canadian Angle:
You really can't get more Canadian then the Maplelea Girls. These dolls are designed to help kids learn about Canada's culture, heritage and geography. And everything about the Maplelea Girls is done in Canada, sculpting, design, writing, illustration, etc., with the exception of the actual assembly which is done in a socially responsible Chinese factory (I'm quoting from their F.A.Q. page here, click through to learn more).

i have alexi my sis has brianne. theyre the 2 most pretty dolls

Anonymous said...

hey my sis has brianne i have alexi theyre both so pretty. if ur looking for a doll for one of your female child relatives id recommend a Maplelea girl. If you?r girl is a winter gal, maybe Saila. Musical? Leonie. Environmentalist? taryn. Detective or inventor? Alexi. farmer or ballerina? brianne. athletic gal? jenna. Brianne's a study in contrasts meaning she is mysterious.

Deanna T. said...

My G-Girl got Brianne for Christmas, so now she and Saila are both living with us. My daughter definitely agrees with you that Brianne is so very pretty.

Anonymous said...

Really? That's so cool! Alexi is the second prettiest (I just think so cuz i have her. I just got Maplelea Friend KMF7 today! She's pretty too but again ALL of them are.
