What are Kindi Kids Dolls?
Kindi Kids, manufactured by Moose Toys‘ just launched their first dolls into the preschool aisle! The launch was so successful on shelves this summer that is now recognized as the No. 1 baby doll! This made Kindi Kids one of the most coveted and top-selling toys of the 2020 holiday season. What’s so special about these dolls you ask?
For starters, these dolls are very similar to the widely popular LOL Dolls and they even have playsets for them as well.
Kindi Kids are unique in the preschool doll market because they encourage ‘best friend’ play just as kids are preparing to go to kindergarten. While most other dolls for children this age focus on nurturing, feeding, changing, and all-around caring for the doll, Kindi Kids begins the important process of helping kids get ready to be among other children their age when starting school.

Four Original Kindi Kids Released in 2019
Introducing Marsha Mello Kindi Kid, the cutest little character around! She’s always cheerful and loves nothing more than having a good time. Her favorite thing? Eating cake! And with her “babycino” and cake pop, she can enjoy sweet treats wherever she goes. Just squeeze the “babycino” to see marshmallows appear in the straw, then push the cake pop to Marsha’s mouth to take a bite. Cute, delicious, and fun – that’s our Marsha Mello Kindi Kid!
Marsha wears marshmallow hair clips in her braided white hair that also has pink, blue, and yellow streaks. Those colors can be found on Marsha’s ribboned dress and shoes.
Donatina loves donuts and her “hole” passion can be seen in the doll’s fashion, from a donut headband in her pink hair to her donut dress and sprinkly shoes. Donatina comes with a bowl of cereal (not quite donuts, but the cereal is an “O” shape) with a spoon. Remove the spoon from the bowl, push it to the doll’s mouth, and watch the cereal disappear. Your little one will love playing with this adorable doll, and they’ll be fascinated by the realistic eating action. The perfect toy for any little foodie, Donatina is sure to be a hit with your child.
Welcome to Jessicake’s world of deliciousness! This little cupcake is as sweet as can be, and she loves nothing more than baked goods. Her outfit is frosted from head to toe, and she comes with her own sprinkle shaker. The cherry on top? Her cupcake actually disappears when you hold it to her mouth. Sure to be a hit with any little girl who loves sweets, Jessicake is the perfect doll for tea parties, playdates, and more.
Oh my minty goodness! It’s the one and only Peppa-Mint Kindi Kid! This ice cream-loving tot is always cool as a cucumber, even when she’s elbow deep in a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream (her favorite!). But there’s so much more to this minty deliciousness than meets the eye…
For starters, Peppa-Mint has the most gorgeous green curly hair that looks just like a scoop of mint ice cream – and her matching minty green boots are adorned with melted ice cream cones, of course! Her romper is even designed to look like a waffle cone, and she wears a headband with scoops of mint and strawberry ice cream. So cute!
