Karito Kids World Collection Dolls Giveaway (ENDED)
Karito Kids is a company that makes beautiful dolls. The great thing about Karito Kids is that they are about more than dolls, though. Karito Kids is also about education and charity!
Lisa Steen-Proctor, co-Founder of Karito Kids says this about their company: Karito Kids is a socially responsible company which enables kids to learn about other countries and cultures and at the same time empowers them to help others less fortunate. 3% of the retail price (not profits/proceeds) of products are donated to one of four projects under the causes of food, home, school or health. The wonderful thing is kids receive a code, log onto karitokids.com and then direct their donation from the purchase to one of these four causes. Our products are ethnically accurate play dolls with wonderful chapter books about the character in one of six countries: USA, China, Mexico, Italy, Kenya, Australia.
Karito Kids has been featured on Oprah’s O List and won Family Fun Magazine’s #1 Toy of the Year in 2007! They have also won the 2008 Doll of the Year Industry’s Choice Award, Creative Child Seal of Excellence Choice Award, FIVE NAPPA Gold Awards in 2007, Teachers’ Choice For the Family Award, and FIVE 2007 iParentingMedia Outstanding Products Awards, just to name a FEW of their recognitions!
Karito Kids wants to spread the message that kids around the world are basically the same, even with our cultural and social differences. You can choose from Gia from Italy, Ling from China, Lulu from Kenya, Piper from Australia, Pita from Mexico or Zoe from the USA. These 21” poseable dolls are hand-strung and constructed from vinyl with no phthalates added. If your child likes to cuddle, 2/3 of the torso is soft 100% cotton and polyester fill. The hair is wigged and can be washed and styled.
We received Zoe from the USA. Zoe is an 11-year old aspiring songwriter and musician who loves making up silly words, sillier songs and exploring the vintage shops of her native Manhattan for the hippest retro clothes. Zoe comes with her own passport and a 128-page, hardbound fiction book that includes excerpts from her journal describing her beloved New York City!
This doll is incredible! I cannot believe how realistic her features are, down to her delicate-looking eyelashes and cute little freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her hair feels very silky and so far, she has withstood the attention of my 6-year-old son.
In addition to the original dolls, Karito Kids also offers 16″ soft Travel Charmers versions of their dolls, which come with a souvenir charm that will fit their Travel Charmers Bracelets. Karito Kids offers a cute child’s Heart Tee as well as a full line of doll clothing that is definitely mother-approved! If your child likes to read, each doll comes with a different Karito Kids Adventure Book, but you’ll want to collect them all because they really are fabulous!
If you are looking to start a doll collection with your child, Karito Kids is really the best! I love that they are comparable to other popular brands, but that they are more socially aware/responsible AND they give back while encouraging your child to do the same. You really cannot beat that!!
Karito Kids 21″ dolls retail for $99.99 and include a passport, full outfit and Adventure Book, as well as a code to access to fun games and ways to give to the charity of their choice.

How cool is it that they are getting kids involved with others globally. Their World Change is a neat idea to get kids learning about what is happening with kids around the world that are less fortunate than them.

My oldest would love Gia from Italy. She and I both hope to visit Italy one day.
My daughter loves PITA. She says she looks like her. We’d chose her
My dd is adopted and from Spanish heritage so this doll would be perfect for her

I think my daughter would love Gia because brown-eyed dolls are hard to find. These look like beautiful dolls and I love that they have a charitable mission as well!
I like that Karito Kids allows the child to select which of four charities the 3% should go to — it gets them involved in the process, which makes the experience educational and memorable.

I think what they are doing is great. I know when I was younger, my sister and I loved the American girls…but that’s girls from past decades and this is about the here and now about girls that are not JUST American. I love it. It’s good to get kids more aware of other places earlier on and make it fun.

These dolls are awesome because they teach culture and a bit of geography too. My favorite is Gia.
The Karito Kids website is fantastic. It’s engaging and kids can have a safe place to play and learn online. http://karitokids.com/games/
It’s awesome that each doll purchased also helps another child!
I subscribe to ThingsMomsLike. My favorite doll is Gia because we think she is cute.
