Frequently asked questions about doll sizes

What doll sizes are there?

Dolls come in many different sizes, which are measured from head to toe. At Corolle we offer dolls in the following sizes: 20 cm, 25 cm, 28 cm, 30 cm, 36 cm, 42 cm.

How big should a doll be?

The ideal doll size depends on the child's age and physical development. Small, lightweight 30 cm dolls are ideal for children aged 1 year and over, as they are easy to grasp and carry. Dolls between 30 and 42 cm are suitable for children aged 2 to 4 years, as they are not too heavy but already allow interactive play.

How big is a real baby compared to a doll?

Newborn babies have an average height of around 48-52 cm. A 42 cm baby doll is therefore quite close to the real size. Dolls from 42 cm are therefore particularly suitable if children want to imitate the handling of a sibling in a playful way.

How do I recognize the right clothes for the doll?

Corolle has matching accessories for every doll size. To avoid confusion, the clothing items on the website are marked with a symbol that shows which doll size they are suitable for. This is particularly important for the 36 cm dolls, as the clothes for Mon Grand Poupon (baby dolls) and Ma Corolle (dress-up dolls) are different. Of course, you can always check the exact size in the product information.

How do you convert inches to centimeters?

In some stores, doll sizes are given in inches. To convert inches to centimeters, you can use the following formula: 1 inch = 2.54 cm

Here are a few examples of common doll sizes:

If you have a doll size in inches, you can simply multiply it by 2.54 to get the value in cm. An online converter can also help if you are unsure.
