Disclosure:  I did not receive anything for this post, I just didn’t want my readers to miss out!

The Caillou Talking Doll is the first licensed product that will hit shelves as the Caillou brand leads into its 25^th anniversary and celebrates 15 years on the air on PBS in 2015.  The Caillou Talking Doll proposes a fresh new look for this world renowned character, with bright new school gear including a removable backpack and hat.  The doll allows a whole new level of interaction between kids and Caillou, offering ten educational interactions meant to spark children’s creativity, including two quick and easy French words to learn and say.  Imports Dragon joined the ranks of Caillou licensees in 2009, since then additional licensed merchandise for the brand include the award winning bath time series, play sets and figures. 

Based on a best-selling series of books, first published in 1990, Caillou is a unique preschool show that presents family and friend life-like situations & settings.  The stories are age appropriate and help children grow with self-esteem, confidence and independence.

Dr. Francoise Dolto, a French psychoanalyst famous for her work with babies and children, inspired the  founders of Chouette Publishing, based in Quebec part of French Canada, to create Caillou.  She popularized the concept that children are people in their own right and should be respected as such. Caillou launched initially as a series of books and became a television series.  Caillou represents a 4 year old’s perspective on the world around him.
