Playborns
Playborns have been created to cater to younger collectors & mommies. Unlike my reborns, they are specially designed for mommies who cannot keep the utmost care for their babies. The prices on these babies also vary, as they are created much different than authentic reborns are.
Playborns are not weighted to be as heavy or "floppy" like reborns, so that if their mama cannot support the head, there will be no ripping or tearing in the neck. The hair is lightly painted instead of micro rooted or heavily painted, this way there are no messy hair days, and nothing can get ruined. These babies do not take magnets, they take a special putty to hold paci's in place, which is non-toxic (along with all paints & weighting). These babies come home in only a onesie, blankey & paci (where reborns come with a full layette).
The paint time & detail also vary from reborns, I will spend 3-5 hours on a playborn, where I will spend 14-18 hours on a reborn. Playborns are safe for collectors & mommies who are not ready for the responsibilities that come with a reborn, but who can still appreciate their lifelike nature. These babies are sure to be a hit with your children for birthdays, holidays, gifts & "just because". Special ordering & customizing still available for playborns as well.

Why Playborns?
Playborns are specially designed for children. I had gotten so many requests for reborns for children & I just hate turning family, friends & customers away because of reborn's delicate nature, so I created Playborns. My first playborn sold in February to a 9 year old. They were just thrilled with their new babies- and it was so gratifying to see pictures of the success of my playborns. Recommended for children 6-10.
