Mattel's My Garden Baby is a baby doll toy for kids that aims to inspire an appreciation for the natural world in a fun and fantastical way. Unlike most baby doll toys, My Garden Baby Feed and Change dolls sport colorful butterfly wings and brightly colored hair. The diverse range of dolls incorporates elements of classic nurturing dolls, including drink to wet features, reusable nappies, removable clothes and wings.
The packaging for the fantastical doll toys is not just useful for shipping and displaying the product, since it actually transforms into a crib for the toys. Aimed at kids of different ages, there's the Berry Hungry Baby Butterfly Assortment for kids two and up, as well as the cuddly My First Baby Butterfly Assortment for younger kids ages 18 months and up.
