giggles IDEAL dollS
ORIGINAL BOXES
Giggles dolls were made by the Ideal Toy Corporation of America between 1967and 1969.
"Giggles is one of the most popular Ideal dolls of the 1960's period. You only have to look at her cute face to see why she is so loved. Those dimples on both rosy cheeks are absolutely delightful. She has blue open eyes which flirt from side to side with her arm actions. She has a pink open mouth showing white teeth.
The expression on her face is one of pure happiness and joy."
The appealing feature for children of these happy smiling dolls was the sound of giggling which emanated from deep inside their bodies. This together with a vibrating action made the doll appear to be laughing so hard her body was shaking. When the doll's arms were pressed together she turned her head form side to side and giggled. .

This lovely homemade coat and matching little hat would be as old as Giggles herself - circa 1960. It has been made with love and fits her perfectly. Some of the white trim has come away from the red fabric around the collar but could be easily fixed. A cute little set.
