Tiny Tears 50th Anniversary + Giveaway

One of the most iconic toys in British history, to my mind, is the Tiny Tears doll and they are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.  Tiny Tears was the first fully functioning feeding, crying and wetting doll with closing eyes, moveable arms, legs and head.

To celebrate this milestone John Adams have released the limited edition Tiny Tears 50th Anniversary Doll and Baby was lucky enough to receive one.

This special edition Tiny Tears doll is dressed up birthday princess dress and has a vintage curly hairstyle.  Like the traditional doll, your children will still be able to feed Tiny Tears from her very own water bottle, put her on her potty to wet, sit her up and Tiny Tears even cries real tears. When you lay her down, her eyes gently close.

The 50th anniversary limited edition doll also comes complete with a potty, bottle and a keepsake special commemorative certificate, printed with its own unique number.

Baby had never had a ‘proper’ doll, only rag doll types, so I was interested to see what she would make of it.  I popped it on a shelf, thinking I would give it to her the following day, but she spotted it and really wanted to play with it there and then.

Straight away she loved Tiny Tears; feeding her, dressing, undressing and placing her on the potty.  She even made me empty the potty (of invisible wee!). Baby is a bit messy with water at the moment, so we aren’t telling her yet about the drinking/crying/weeing features; however even without these features Baby adores playing with this beautiful doll.

Baby loves Tiny Tears and as she gets older we will introduce the full range of features.

  1. She would be for my twin daughters. They’d love her very much. Though I suspect she might cause some arguments between them too!

  2. I used to have one of these!! 🙂 My eldest has asked for a new dolly for Christmas so this would be perfect, and I’m sure her little sister would like to join in the fun too x

  3. My 3 year old daughter, Jessica. She has beautiful ringlets, just like Tiny Tears. I think she would love a doll that has curly hair like her.

  4. I would give it to my daughter. There used to be three different sizes of Tiny Tears dolls. I had all three. I used to love to give them a bottle, then ask my mam to hold the baby. Tiny Tears would then “wee” on her.

  5. I’d love to win and I would give this Tiny Tears doll to my daughter. I am now 42 and my favourite dolly when I was growing up was a Tiny Tears doll I called ‘Debbie’. I’d love for my daughter to have the same experience as I did!

  6. My friend’s daughter (much as I would love to keep her for myself! I still have the Tiny Tears I had as a child, can’t let her go 🙂 )
