Soft huggable bodies to cuddle and coddle. Sweet faces and hands to wash up before supper and kiss before bedtime. Hair to comb, and clothing that fastens and unfastens easily. There’s My Friend Mandy and My Friend Jenny, little-girl dolls with beautiful hair that can be washed and curled and braided and brushed. And because children love to play parent, there are two endearing baby dolls, each of them an armful of love. In fact, Baby Soft Sounds feels so soft and huggable in your arms, and has such irresistible eyes, you’d adore her even if she never made a peep. My Friend Jenny is dark-eyed and raven-haired. My Friend Mandy is blond and pink-cheeked. They re just the same size, so like many good friends, they can even wear each other’s clothes.And though My Friend Mandy and My Friend Jenny are soft and huggable, they can still stand up on their own two feet. You can also wash her face and hands and comb her wispy hair. Because she’s likely to get lots of jammy kisses and fervent hugs. And every one of our girls has a personality all her own. Jenny is wistful. Elizabeth is a heartbreaker. Natalie, a dimpler. Mary looks trusting. Audrey has mischievous eyes. And Baby Ann is, well, a baby. Once in a childhood, there’s a doll that’s your very best friend. That’s why Fisher-Price created My Friend Mandy.

There are lots of well-made clothes you can buy for them, or sew them yourself with our own My Friend patterns. When a small child holds a baby doll of its own, something remarkable happens. A protective feeling, an inkling of what it’s like to be responsible for someone smaller than you. As for care, Baby Ann is machine-washable-and dryable: And she’s made, like every Fisher-Price Doll, to live with your family for many happy tomorrows. My Baby Beth comes with knit sweater, cap and booties. And if you or your child like to sew, there’s also a simple pattern to make her a baby sleeper.

These appealing little lapsitters were created with the same thoughtfulness and care that go into every Fisher-Price toy. The secret of Baby Soft Sounds is a remarkably sensitive electronic “voice box,” that runs on one ordinary 9-volt battery. It produces gentle sounds that are astonishingly realistic; never tinny or harsh. And you can zip out the box, so you can pop her in the washing machine.Put her down and she fusses for more attention. And after a bit, she just quiets down. Now isn’t that like a real baby? She arrives complete with her own Care Set: a cozy gingham infant seat and a matching tote bag to tote her feeding dish, spoon and bottle.

She comes in pink dotted swiss, brings her own nightie, and now you can add to her wardrobe with outfits for a lively round of activities.
