Then to my surprise, the boys wanted boy dolls! And I thought why not? Why shouldn't boys get to have dolls if they want!!! I searched. There were no 18 inch boy dolls to be found anywhere. So I dug through my teenagers old dolls and found two 18 inch Newberry dolls (from Sears) that were in perfect condition, except for their ratty hair. I gave them hair cuts. Cleaned the makeup off their faces with rubbing alcohol. The new berry dolls eyes do not close so I didn't need to be careful with getting their eyes wet, as you would in a dolls eyes that open and close. I painted their eyebrows a little bushier, and one of them got a sprinkle of freckles! I used acrylic paint for that.
Finding boy clothes was a challenge. There's not much out there, but I did find some jeans, tshirt, shoes and a soccer outfit at Michaels.
