Role Play

Wicker Doll's Cradle with Beige Lining, Pillow & Quilt

£79.99

There is a lovely moment in early childhood when a little one begins to mother their own "baby": rocking a doll, whispering to it, tucking it in for the night. A doll cradle gives that instinct a home, and gives your child a gentle, beautiful way to practise care.

Rocking a doll to sleep is soothing for children too. The slow, rhythmic motion is calming and regulating, and the whole ritual of settling a "baby" down mirrors the bedtime love they receive from you. It builds empathy, imagination and language, and can even become a sweet part of your child's own wind-down routine.

Mimi is handwoven in the EU from natural wicker, in a Polish tradition treasured on the UNESCO cultural heritage list, and sits on smooth wooden rockers for that gentle to and fro. It comes complete with a soft pillow, a cosy comforter and a removable cover, all machine washable at 30°C, so it stays fresh through endless bedtimes.

Sturdy, natural and quietly elegant, it is the kind of piece that looks just as at home on a nursery shelf as it does mid-play.
