“...Just enough softness and
weight to feel real!”
We want to make sure you absolutely love your little one! In order to do that, you need to tell us how cuddly you want your doll to be by selecting your favorite filler.
Filler choices include: whole flax seed, flax seed meal, rolled oats (oatmeal), cornmeal, whole grain mixture, rice, millet, and buckwheat.
*If you do not have a filler preference, we will mix your baby with our favorites!
Take a look at the gallery below to get a better idea of how the body of your doll might feel. Take note of the texture and size of the grains below. As a reference, oatmeal dolls will weigh less than cornmeal and whole grain mixture dolls. Whole flax seed dolls will be softer and heavier than buckwheat dolls. Flax seed meal dolls will be extremely soft, but do not hold the essential oils as well as the other fillers. Dolls with a rice filler will have a natural aroma released from the rice when heated.
*Natural cotton batting and cotton stuffing is also used in these beautiful bunting dolls.
Note from the artist: "My personal favorite filler is a blend of rice and flax seed. The flax seed holds the essential oils very well and the rice adds just enough weight to the overall appearance and feel. No matter your choice of filler, I 100% guarantee you will fall in love at first snuggle!"
Our Fillers
This mixture would be great for a heavier doll weighing around 4lbs.
This mixture is the preference for soft cuddly dolls, weighing around 3lbs.
Is a heavy filler for Potato-Babies™. Unlike flax meal, corn meal holds essential oils well and gives the doll a soft body. Dolls using this filler will weigh about 4 lbs.
Rice has its own natural aroma when heated. Even scented dolls will still release the sweet natural odors of rice. Dolls will weigh around 4-5lbs.
Oatmeal is a very light-weight grain. The bodies will be soft and somewhat flakey when squeezed. Dolls will weigh only about 2lbs.
If you do not have a filler preference, your doll will be mixed according to the weight you desire.
Buckwheat/ Flax/ Flax meal/ Lavender. This is one example of a whole grain mixture for Lovable Lavender™ dolls.
Flax/ Buckwheat/ Flax meal/ Lemongrass. A whole grain mixture used to make the Lemony Figgle™ Sweet Potato.
Light-weight, odorless, and holds heat well. It is not a soft grain and makes a trickling noise when being cuddled.
Whole Flax seed vs. Flax seed meal
Makes an extremely soft doll. Works best on unscented dolls. It doesn't hold essential oils as long as other fillers.
Creates a very soft-bodied doll. Holds essential oils and heat very well. Conforms to your shoulder. *My favorite!
