About Dolls 4 All!

Designed by Reyana Lin Trân, B.F.A. in Design

Dolls 4 All is a collection of (mostly) paper doll designs focusing on creating easily accessible, nuanced cultural representation and education through customizable, printable dolls, paper doll storybooks on various cultural regions, and educational wooden dolls.

Dolls 4 All! consists of a website to customize a doll with a variety of cultural outfits to print out, educational paper doll storybooks exploring underrepresented cultural regions, and wooden dolls that can be taken on the go or used in educational settings to explore cultural traditions.

Lack of diversity within toys — as well as lack of access to diverse toys — continues to uphold monolithic cultural norms that are instilled during crucial years of child development. Dolls 4 All! aims to ensure that children see themselves and their peers represented in the media surrounding them.
