If you have been reading the blog for a while, you know my daughters love the Canadian Maplelea dolls. Kate has the Taryn doll and Jane has the Saila doll.
The Maplelea line of ‘Canadian girls’ consists of Maplelea Girls and Maplelea Friends, 18″ vinyl dolls with soft, huggable bodies, poseable arms and legs, eyes that open and close, and a wide range of hair, skin, and eye colours. Each Maplelea Girl has a uniquely Canadian story to tell. Each Maplelea Friend helps you create your own Canadian story.
Maplelea Girls and Maplelea Friends are for children 6 – 12+ years of age and are available for $99.99 only at maplelea.com.
The Maplelea GirlsTM are from six different regions of Canada: the Rockies, rural prairies, urban Ontario, the Maritimes, Quebec and northern Canada. Each character has a distinctive personality, strong values, and empowering stories to tell. Although these characters celebrate a variety of lifestyles, activities and interests, they all share a special spirit and imagination, a sense of adventure and a satisfaction with being just who they are at this time of their lives.
We recently received the Set to Celebrate, one of the biggest sets, from Maplealea.
Your doll can host her very own party with the ultimate 36 piece party set complete with storage box, 4 reversible place mats, 4 double sided fabric napkins, 4 napkin rings (which can be used as scrunchies for your dolls hair), 1 reversible Happy Birthday/Bonne Fête table runner/banner, 4 plates, 4 forks, 4 glasses of lemonade, 6 slice celebration cake topped with a candle and served with a stand and metal cake server. The accompanying journal pages describe how the completion of Canada’s first transcontinental railway was something worth celebrating!
I have to admit I was very impressed with the quality of the set. I love that the set, like all sets from Maplelea come with the extra journal pages – the journal is something my girls love and I love how educational it is.
I love that the Maplelea dolls can hold their own cups – that makes for lots of fun play time.
The forks in this set are very durable – they are heavy, good quality and the little maple leaf adds a nice touch.
My girls say that Taryn and Saila are giving a toast here – they are thankful for this wonderful birthday set and all the fun they are going to have.
My daughters have spent hours enjoying this party set with Taryn and Saila.

This by far is the most played with doll set we have. It also has endured a lot of use from my four kids. Great review!
