Baby Doll with Blinking Eyes – Sam
$200.00 inc. GST
Lifelike baby doll for child representation therapy, calms individuals with dementia by encouraging nurturing and unconditional love
Sam is a mass-produced unisex baby doll with blinking eyes — i.e., the eyes open and close depending on the doll’s position. This feature makes Sam particularly suitable for use in doll therapy, especially in aged care environments and with people living with dementia. While the eyes are not fully realistic, the doll is ideal for those who enjoy watching a baby “go to sleep” when laid down for a nap.
Sam serves as a valuable tool in dementia care, providing emotional comfort, reducing agitation, and offering a sense of purpose and companionship as part of non-drug-based aged care interventions.
⚠️ Please Note: A magnet is fitted in the doll’s head to secure the pacifier. This may interfere with pacemakers and electronic devices—please use with caution around sensitive medical or electronic equipment.
