The head stays on! Hooray!
This is such a nice little doll! She's dainty, she's articulated (neck, shoulders and hips), she wears a removeable gown, has textured underwear(not painted) and painted-on shoes. Her hair is quite stiffly coiffed at first, but this softens up a bit after several days worth of play, yet still looks curled and like a hair-do, not a mess (not yet, anyhow) even though my 3 yr old daughter has been playing a LOT with this doll, and bringing her everywhere, she peeks out of pockets and sits prettily at the table, next to the flower vase at mealtimes, and has been found sleeping in bed, hidden way under the bedclothes in the mornings.
I really appreciate that the HEAD does NOT come off, unlike the other, smaller dolls that hinge at the waist , those with the rubberized over-skirts, no, those we returned, which was sad, because we had a complete set of tea party friends and we were going to get the mom and dad figures too, but no, their heads popped off so easily.
This doll is about 5 inches tall, and she's lovely. And her head stays on. She's about as big as Barbie's sister Chelsea, but with a larger head and a slimmer body.
Educational? Well, what does that even mean? Your child WILL get an education in fine-motors skill exercises (or you will) in trying to manuever her little dress on and off, or in setting her down carefully to sit and have 'tea', she'll even stand if you're careful enough, and you can use her to 'teach' basic sewing and craftsmanship by making this pretty little doll a bed and linens, more outfits, other furniture...So far we've bought a 1:12 size dollhouse double bed and, under my 3 yr old's supervision, we are turning it into a bed fit for a princess it's been very fun picking through my fabric stash with her for this project...so sure, I think it's been plenty 'educational', so I give it 5 stars across the board.

This doll looked so pretty in the picture, and the other 2 reviews of it were so positive....when we got ours, it looked like she had been played with! The hair was greasy-looking and the right side of her hairdo was messed up, almost as if she had stuck her head out a car window. I didn't bother taking her out of the box, my Sofia-fan-in-residence took one look and said "NO!" ...and put her back into the Amazon box. I did notice that the dress this doll wears is not exactly what Sofia wears -the character's dress has the flower design only around the hem, whereas this doll has it all over the skirt...and the doll's tiara is white, not silver like the character. Don't know if this would deter some kids, I just thought it would bear mentioning, in case your child is detail-oriented.

This doll is about 4 inches tall. In the description it looks like an average size doll, about 10 inches or so. It's not. AMAZON was cool about the return which was great. Glad I did not buy from an individual seller.

The sophia doll is great. The only thing is that I wish you had measurements as i did not realise the size of the doll.

She's a little shorter than you would anticipate. I know it listed the size of the doll, but she's a bit on the small side For the money. If you are looking for just a small Princess Sophia doll, you can't go wrong.
