These special dolls can be a good tool to help your child understand what potty training is all about, but are they really necessary? This will in part depend on both you and your child. Before you decide, read on to find out what potty training dolls are, how they are used and in what case they can be helpful in ing your little one.

A potty training doll is a special doll that can drink and then pee. It usually comes with its own little and some training pants. The doll also has a little zippy cup or bottle to drink out of. After the doll drinks, the water will come out the other end, while the doll sits on the potty chair.

That all sounds well, but how can this toy help you toilet train your toddler? When you child is starting to show interest in using the potty, you give him the doll and explain how big kids use the potty instead of using a diaper. Start by letting your child feed the doll the water, and have him set the doll on the potty. Then the two of you can watch the doll .

The next step is to ask your child if he would like to pee in the potty, just like the doll is doing. After he has practiced with the doll a few times, sitting on a potty and tinkling in it doesn't seem quite a scary and he'll be ready to give it a try. This can happen as quickly as after the first time you used the potty training doll, or take a few days. Just keep trying and do your best to at least have your child sit on his potty next to the doll. Sooner or later he'll get it and tinkle right alongside the doll.

The final question is: Do you really need a potty training doll? A lot of toddlers are interested enough in using the potty that they do not need a potty training doll. But if your little one seems a little afraid or just isn't very interested in using the potty, a potty training doll can be a useful tool. In those cases, getting a potty training doll is a worthwhile investment and can make the process of toilet training your child much faster and easier.

It might seem obvious, but like any home decorating project, a well-done Christmas tree requires a theme. For example, if you want your Christmas tree to have a Victorian look, then you should consider getting antique-style as your Christmas tree decorations.

You'll probably want to start shopping far in advance, so you have time to plan your theme and get the items you really want.

For example, say that you liked to play with s when you were a child -- the Christmas tree decorations that you choose could have a Barbie theme! This might strike you as a bit weird, but weird can be cool, and remember, the Barbie theme is just an example -- you are limited only by your imagination. Any theme at all can be fun and unique if it fits your personality and lifestyle. If you do go with the Barbie theme, then your color scheme might well be based on the, shall we say, non-traditional color of pink. And if your theme is based on pink, and you do not actually have a tree yet, then why not go all the way, be extra unique and get a white tree (either fake or flocked), or that old contemporary of the Barbie doll, the silver (aluminum) tree --- this will pick up the pink from the rest of the decorations quite well.

Once you have your theme, you might even want to make your own decorations. You could, just for an example, go to a craft store, and get a lot different styles of pink beads, and with white thread (if you do not already have it at home). Thread the beads in interesting combinations and make your very own, personal Christmas tree decorations (guaranteed unique)!

For more ideas for your Barbie tree (or any other theme you might come up with), do a quick search on the internet. There are lots of [insert your theme here] enthusiasts that have websites full of ideas. You can also search for Christmas tree decorations based on any theme you can dream up on the Internet's many auction sites and close-out sites.

If you don't have the time this holiday season to decorate your own miniature tree, you can always buy miniature Christmas trees that are already decorated and just need to be set into place.

Don't stop with a miniature Christmas tree, though. Continue decorating the rest of your dollhouse with garlands or red ribbons that reflect the holiday season. Hanging greenery on the walls or on staircase railings is always pretty. Wrap tiny packages with and place them under your tree, just waiting to be opened. Of course, you'll need Santa Claus decorations to enhance your as well!

Now that you've added warmth and spirit to the inside of your dollhouse, work on the exterior. Trim the eaves with miniature lights, just as you would your own home.

You'll also need some artificial snow to make your winter holiday theme turn into a wonderland.

You may find it fun to move the miniature people in your dollhouse outside at this time of year. Dress them in warm coats and scarves and create a scene that depicts them playing in the snow with the family dog or even sledding. Regardless of how you choose to set it up, the addition of some holiday flair to your dollhouse or miniature display will only serve to enhance the overall holiday d=E9cor of your home. See how much depth and character you can give to your display. Remember, don't just stop at decorating a tree, Christmas is a holiday that affects the d=E9cor of the entire house, inside and out.

Since vinyl play dolls didn't begin appearing until the 1950s, and therefore establishing criteria for a collectible is still in its infancy.

When play dolls first arrived on the market most were made of hard plastic and their hair was actually wigs, which were glued on and left little room for soft play. With the introduction of vinyl, dolls became softer, more pliable with hair that could be sewn into the head instead of glued on.

As collectible started becoming of interest in the past few years, pricing has become somewhat subjective with the market determining the going price. A number 1 vinyl , for example, in good condition, may be hard to find bringing its price to a collector of upwards of a few thousand dollars.

Many other vinyl dolls saturated the market in the 1950s and 1960s making it difficult to establish a price range for these collectible vinyl dolls. Manufacturers such as Mattel, Ideal and others flooded the market and in the 1940s and 1950s some even used a harder vinyl similar to the hard plastic initially used for play dolls.

Defining Characteristics of a Collectible Doll

Since such a huge number of vinyl dolls were made in the 1950s through the 1970s their value is somewhat questionable. er, a collectible vinyl doll in still in its original packaging can fetch the highest price from an . Play dolls in pristine condition, even without the package, can bring in a little extra money from a collector.

As mass-market toys, they were not designed to become a collectible vinyl doll; rather they were designed for play. Many of the older vinyl dolls are showing signs of aging as their vinyl skin has faded or developed wrinkles and they have gone bald. Others may have undergone cosmetic surgery or had a broken arm replaced or repaired. Their only value will probably be sentimental.

However, the desire to own a certain type of vinyl play doll has helped the market with some people claiming they had one when they were little and even if it has been played with, they want to have one either for their own collection or for their child to play with. Check auctions such as eBay to see the numerous vinyl play dolls still available on the market. Ann Mariera writes articles about family life.

Maybe you remember having a collection or two when you were young. A rock collection may have started with one or two pretty pieces of stone, or a may have begun with the annual family trip to the beach. You may have liked dogs or cats and collected pictures and books.

As a parent, you may not understand why children collect the things they do, but one thing is certain: Children learn about the world around them through these collections. At first that shell or stone is just another pretty item, but from there, the child will want to know what that pink stone is, or what kind of animal lived in the .

The urge to collect usually begins around age six or seven. While you might not understand the reasons why your child chooses to collect a particular item, the important thing is to let them do it. At this stage, your 't grasped the concept of a true collectible having greater value in the future.

How many times have you said to yourself "I wish I still had those Mom threw out. They'd be worth a lot today"? Your child is going to want to play with his or her collection and won't be interested in keeping items in pristine condition.

Many collectors have learned to buy two of each item, one for display or play and the other remaining in the original packaging for later. Of course, this can get expensive because you have no way of knowing if the object will increase in value later down the road or if your child will have a long-term interest in collecting it.

Whether your child collects rocks or , collecting has some very important developmental bonuses. Call these the hidden value of collectibles:

Knowledge

The greatest benefit your child gets from collecting is knowledge of the world around them. One piece of knowledge leads to another, which in turn might lead to a life-long career. That seemingly insignificant stone or shell could provide the springboard for the next great ologist or marine biologist.

Social Skills

Socializing with other children may not come easy to some kids. Collections give your child a chance to connect with other children who have the same interests. It can serve as a way to open up venues of communication and help your child to form lasting friendships.

Family Bonding

Maybe you have one of your collections from your childhood you've been able to share with your child. When you pass these collections on to the next generation, you're not just sharing an object, you're sharing memories. You saved each piece in your collection for a reason. Often, the sentimental value far outweighs the monetary value of the object.

Expanding the Imagination

Your child will spend hours arranging his or her collection, but this is more than the simple act of organizing. To your child, this is playing. They might have a collection of Barbie dolls and while your little girl changes Barbie's clothes and hair, she starts to learn about fashion or imagines herself doing all the things Barbie does.

For a child, collections aren't meant to sit on the shelf gathering dust. Their collections are meant to be functional. After all, what good is a toy if you can't play with it? There is nothing wrong with having a few items meant to sit on the shelf, but for the most part, let your child decide what they see as valuable and let them play. Who knows where it will lead?

They offer a wide variety of houses to choose from, and some even come with furniture and accessories to match your first home.

In choosing your doll house kit, it is important to note who you are buying it for. Is it for an adult collector? Or is it for a child, as a start of her collection, or simply a toy? Knowing who you are buying it for will help you decide which doll houses to choose.

Doll house kits are either made of wood or plastic, and come in a variety of models. Plastic doll houses are cheaper and more durable, which makes them ideal for very young children who will most likely think of them as playthings rather than investments. Most come with basic accessories, but furniture and dolls are usually sold as separate sets. But while plastic doll houses are easier to assemble and come in different sizes, they are also not fully customizable.
