As an entrepreneur and as a mother, I am delighted to share with you our Maplelea Girls dolls, journals and accessories.

Childhood is short enough and our daughters shouldn’t wish it away, longing for the day they are older.

Maplelea Girls were created to be positive role models for our daughters. Each Maplelea Girl is a unique individual with her own preferences, interests and strengths, but all are bright, energetic, caring girls who are happy with just who they are at this time of their lives. Through the journal that accompanies the doll, your daughter will learn not only about her Maplelea Girl, but also about our country’s geography country’s geography and heritage.
