Joeydolls Named One of the Best Dolls of 2025!

There are moments that make our whole heart glow. Today is one of those moments! Joeydolls has officially been named one of The Toy Insider’s Best Dolls of 2025, and honestly, we’re still doing a little happy dance over here.

This recognition is huge, not just for us as a small mom-founded brand, but for every family that has ever said, "I want my child to feel seen, valued and proud." It’s another step toward bringing more cultural representation into everyday play.

And we’re so grateful.

Joeydolls was created by an Asian mom who wanted her daughter to see dolls that looked like her, celebrated her heritage, and told joyful cultural stories. Our dolls help kids feel proud of who they are. They also encourage more inclusive play for all families raising kind, aware, global citizens.

Each Joeydoll is:

• 9 and 18 inches tall and super soft

• Embroidered for safety (no hard parts!)

• Dressed in beautifully crafted outfits inspired by real Asian cultures

• Paired with a QR code that lets families learn more about the culture the doll represents

We know parents want toys that feel good, look good, and mean something. So here’s a closer look at a few of our favorites.

The feature was written by Taylor Battle and published on October 27, 2025, making this moment even more special for our community. So what does it mean to be recognized in a national list of the best dolls? A lot.

The Toy Insider is known for spotlighting toys that help kids grow emotionally, creatively, and socially. Their recognition signals that inclusive toys matter deeply and that kids deserve to see their culture celebrated.

We’re incredibly thankful to Toy Insider for uplifting our mission and helping us bring joyful cultural representation into more homes and classrooms.

"Helping every child feel seen, valued, and proud."

This line sums up what we hope our dolls do every day.

Parents are craving more intentional toys. Toys that teach kindness. Toys that make kids feel proud of where they come from. Toys that don’t erase identity but uplift it.

That’s where Joeydolls comes in.

Representation in play helps kids:

• Build confidence and self love

• Explore their identity in positive ways

• Learn about global cultures naturally

• Become more empathetic

When children play with dolls representing different cultures, it opens the door for real conversations. Real connection. Real belonging.

Families and educators tell us all the time how their Joeydolls spark meaningful conversations.

Kids ask things like:

• "Why does she wear that outfit?"

• "Where is she from?"

• "Can we learn more about her culture?"

And parents love that each doll includes a QR code filled with simple, friendly cultural learning. Everything is designed to feel fun, approachable, and warm.

Cultural representation doesn’t have to be complicated. It can feel joyful. It can feel like play.

And play is where learning sticks!
