Lottie Doll Canoe Playset Review

I have been eyeing the Lottie doll canoe playset. I really want it for Mia, because Mia is a wildlife photographer, and I like to take pictures of wild birds while I am canoeing.

The price seemed a bit high for me, though. So when I found a playset for a lower price on Amazon because the box was beaten up, I jumped on it.

The box is very pretty, but I am not keeping it.

The playset includes a canoe, two wetsuits, two life jackets, two paddles and two fishing poles.

I could have done without the wetsuits. I don't use them while canoeing and don't plan to use them on the dolls.

I first tried posing Lottie Dolls Wildlife Photographer Mia and Kid Activist Meg in the boat.

It it awesome. It has seats with backs, so the dolls sit up well.

The paddles can either be snapped in place on the side of the boat or they can be held by the doll.

I didn't test to see if it floats on its own, but it wouldn't surprise me.

The life jackets are easy to take on and off. 

I bet that the fishing poles would also snap into place on the side of the boat.

Next I tried it on the American Girl mini dolls.

They can also wear the lifejackets and hold the paddles! I was very impressed!

Then I tried it with the Ai dolls Lawn Daisy and King Protea. 

I didn't get them to hold the paddles, but I was very happy that they could also wear the life jackets.

It didn't matter too much that they can't hold the paddles, since they snap in place. It's very clever.

This is a really fun and versatile set. It can work with many varieties of small dolls.

I am so happy with this!

Lottie Doll Kid Activist Meg

I pre-ordered the Lottie doll Kid Activist Meg, back when she was first released. I think it was November 2018.

I thought she was really cute, and I liked her message. I also really like Lottie doll Mia, and she needed a friend.


Unfortunately, there was a mix-up where she was mailed out and didn't arrive.

The company was really great and re-sent her, but the delay soured my enthusiasm a bit.

She did finally arrive!

Back of Box

Lottie doll Meg comes with a placard that says "Kids Voices Matter," a tiara, and a megaphone.
She wears a green jacket, a yellow T-shirt that also says "Kids Voices Matter," and denim shorts.

Meg is inspired by real-life kid activist Mari Copeny.

I have not put the tiara on her yet, I am afraid of breaking or losing it.

She can really hold the megaphone, but it only works on her left hand. I tried to put in on her right hind at first.

She is really cute!

She looked hot in her jacket, so I took it off.

Meg can stand well on her own.
Mia was the first Lottie doll I got and did not stand well on her own I think this is due to the heels on Mia's wellie boots.

Wildlife Photographer Mia joined her so that they could hold a mini Black Lives Matter protest.

Meg may be a small doll, but she has a big message, and one that is very important at the moment.

I highly recommend her, and would suggest getting her for any child in your life that plays with dolls.

Don't forget that everyone deserves equal rights, and that Black Lives Matter.

You can read my review of Meg's friend, Wildlife Photographer Mia, here.

Meg and Mia are currently my only Lottie dolls, but I am also interested in the Sinead doll. This doll represents a real-life Little Person, Sinead Burke, who works in the fashion industry.

Lottie Doll Mia

Here are some recent pictures of Lottie doll Mia!

These pictures show her on a caboose.

Mia is so small, and the caboose is so big, that it is hard to tell!

The red matches her outfit.

Lottie doll Mia in the Snow

Wildlife photographer Mia, who is made by the Lottie doll company, is such a fun doll to photograph.

If I am outside taking pictures, so is she!

I wonder what she is taking a picture of?

Maybe it is a hungry rabbit in the snow, or even a pretty bird, like a cardinal!

Lottie Doll Kid Activist

I love the Lottie Doll Kid Activist!

This really adorable doll is inspired by real life Mari Copeny aka "Little Miss Flint."

I love her hair! Her tiara! Her passion!

The doll is currently on pre-order with guaranteed delivery by Christmas.

My Lottie Doll Mia may need a friend.

Apparently, this doll is named Meg. I like it. Maybe she can stand in for Meg from A Wrinkle in Time also.

I think she is coming home for sure!

Wildlife Photographer Mia

Most of you who read this blog probably don't know me in real life. So you probably don't know that I am severely hearing impaired. 

I have been hearing impaired all my life, but it has gotten a lot worse in recent years.

My hearing is so bad that the only reason I don't have a cochlear implant is that I refuse to get one.

The thought of this scares me to death.

However, doctors are certain that I will need one by the time I reach retirement.

I didn't buy Mia right away. I rarely buy dolls on impulse.
I waited until I had a bad day and found her for sale with free shipping.

Lottie Doll Wildlife Photographer Mia

A new doll was brought to my attention today!

I have heard of the Lottie dolls, but this one really captured my attention- Wildlife Photographer Mia!



I love this doll for so many reasons.

She is a VERY cute doll of color. Yay for doll diversity!

She is a wildlife photographer- and I cab spend hours in a canoe chasing around a heron to get that perfect picture.

And most importantly, she has cochlear implants!



I have been educating people in my life about cochlear implants lately..

As it turns out, I qualify for cochlear implants. I have reasons not to want to get them, but I approve of anything that helps educate people on this subject.

I think this is great for kids with cochlear implants, and it is a great tool to educate kids or adults who do not have them!

I am very excited about this little doll!



I have not heard of any other doll with cochlear implants.

American Girl dolls have optional hearing aids, but it is not the same thing.

This is great!
