We are officially halfway through November, and the countdown to Christmas is on! With only 41 days until the big day, the pressure to choose the perfect, most joy-inducing gifts for our children can be intense. It seems like every retailer has a new list of “must-have” interactive toys, making it easy to overlook the classics that truly foster meaningful play.
If you are seeking a gift that encourages imaginative play, teaches empathy, and celebrates kindness, look no further. This holiday season, we are skipping the screens and the noise in favor of a legacy brand that has been inspiring children for nearly a century: Madame Alexander dolls. And their brand-new Kindness Club Dolls line is the thoughtful gift your child will adore.
The Enduring Legacy of Madame Alexander Dolls
Dolls are some of the oldest and most fundamental toys children interact with, serving as pivotal tools for social and emotional development. While today’s market is saturated with trendy, short-lived toys, Madame Alexander offers a timeless approach rooted in valuable life lessons.
Founded in 1923 by New Yorker Beatrice Alexander, the company’s mission was focused on more than just creating beautiful playthings. Madame Alexander viewed dolls as powerful learning tools—objects that could genuinely teach children empathy, compassion, and responsibility.
This devotion to quality and purpose has earned the brand numerous industry awards over the years. Today, the Madame Alexander Doll Company continues to honor this timeless vision, introducing the Kindness Club Dolls just in time for the holiday season.
Meet the Kindness Club: Celebrating Caring and Respect

The new Kindness Club is a line of seven beautiful 14-inch dolls featuring diverse girls who strive to make the world a better place through caring and respect. These dolls are designed to look like real-life friends, inspiring children to celebrate differences and practice nurturing play.
The dolls in the club are: Avi, Rosa, Zola, Paisley, Harper, Emmi, and Brooks.
Designed for Play and Diversity
One of the many reasons we love this new collection is the size and intentional design. The Kindness Club 14-inch dolls have molded, poseable bodies and realistic fixed eyes, making them easy for smaller hands to manage and play with constantly. Frankly, we prefer the 14-inch size over the bulkier 18-inch dolls often seen on the market—they are perfect for on-the-go adventures.
Crucially, these dolls affirm the importance of representation. Available in three different skin tone options and styles, the Kindness Club Dolls actively encourage children to celebrate the differences among us, facilitating important conversations about acceptance and diversity.
Our Personal Review: Why We Adore Avi

We were lucky enough to get our hands on the Madame Alexander 14″ Kindness Club Doll Avi, and honestly, the pictures online do not do her justice. She truly is one of the cutest, highest-quality dolls we own.
My daughter, Miss P, immediately renamed her new friend “Isabella,” and they have been inseparable ever since. I was immediately struck by the doll’s lifelike details and genuine expression. In fact, I couldn’t get over how much the doll actually resembles Miss P—a detail that instantly made the doll feel special and relatable.
Quality and Style Details:
Avi comes dressed in a completely adorable and removable outfit that screams playful adventure:
- A soft pink skirt and coordinated plaid shirt.
- A transparent iridescent raincoat (perfect for puddle jumping).
- Decorated hair band.
- Knee socks paired with bright magenta rainboots.
Beyond her stylish clothes, Avi features rooted, life-like hair that is easy for young children to brush and style without frustrating tangles—a huge win for parents! With her endearing features and soft hair, this doll is a constant companion in our household, helping Miss P facilitate hours of imaginative, nurturing play.
Overall, Miss P is completely in love with her new doll and has already added her friend Rosa to her holiday wish list!
Choose Kindness This Holiday Season

This upcoming holiday season, consider leaving the noisy, interactive dolls on the shelf and invest in a quality toy that promotes genuine values. Madame Alexander’s mission reminds us that being humble and kind is the most valuable lesson of all.
By choosing the Kindness Club Dolls, you aren’t just buying a toy; you are affirming a tradition of quality craftsmanship and a dedication to teaching your child compassion and respect—values that will last long after the holiday wrapping paper is gone.
