“This little doll is beautifully made — soft, vibrant, and full of charm. The red qipao is stunning and such a lovely way to introduce cultural diversity through play. My little one instantly fell in love with her sweet smile and carries her everywhere!...”

Joeydolls founder surrounded by the doll collection

Our story

Started by a mom who couldn't find her kids in the toy aisle

Joeydolls was founded by Samantha Ong, a mom of two who was born in Malaysia, raised in Australia and now calls Canada home. When she couldn't find dolls that thoughtfully reflected her children's heritage, she decided to make them.

Today we're still a small, family-run team, designing every piece so more children can grow up seeing their culture in everyday play.

Read our story

Joeydolls Mini Dolls bring meaningful cultural representation into a smaller, take-anywhere size. These 9-inch plush cultural dolls are designed for little hands, travel, backpacks, playdates and everyday adventures, making them an easy way for children to bring a familiar piece of their heritage with them wherever they go.

The Mini Doll collection includes characters representing a growing range of cultures, including Filipino, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, Japanese, Mexican and Hmong heritage. Each doll is thoughtfully designed with culturally inspired details that help children see themselves reflected in their toys while encouraging curiosity and appreciation for the cultures of others.

Mini Dolls also make meaningful birthday, holiday and heritage gifts. Families can choose the character that feels most connected to their own story or collect several Joeydolls to create a more diverse world of imaginative play.
