Tincknell Country Stores - Lottie Dolls

Be Bold, Be Brave, BE YOU!

Welcome to the world of Lottie! Lottie aims to encourage children to embrace their individuality, enjoy their childhood and embark on fantastic adventures!

Unlike other big brand dolls, Lottie is based on characters that are nine years of age and are relatable, age-appropriate and fun dolls. Many of the dolls and accessories have been inspired by real children.

Lottie Dolls have been created to be positive role models for children, helping to encourage imaginative play, inspire learning and fun. Lottie also offers great value to parents.

There are many different dolls in the Lottie collection, with many having great country themed names, including Forest Friend Lottie, who loves to read enchanting stories about magical fairies that live deep in the woods and forests, Pony Club Lottie, complete with Seren the Welsh Mountain Pony, Spring Celebration Ballet Lottie and so many more. There are also lots of accessories and outfits available, such as Biscuit the Beagle and the beautiful Flower Power green and white spotted dress.

Did you know that there is a very special Lottie in the collection called Stargazer? Not only does she have her very own telescope to look at all of the stars and planets in the solar system, she was also the FIRST EVER DOLL TO VISIT SPACE! Stargazer Lottie spent 6 months on board the International Space Station with British Astronaut Tim Peake. How cool is that?
