    Founded in 2005, Baby Abuelita Productions was created by a pair of

working mothers: Hilda Argilagos-Jimenez, a dance teacher and Carol

Fenster, a psychotherapist. "We wanted to create a doll that preserved

tradition and warm memories," said Fenster. "But our dolls have managed to

do that and more. We get emails from teachers and parents who are using

these dolls to educate their children and teach them Spanish, which is a

wonderful thing."



    Baby Abuelita Productions, LLC. was recently awarded the 2008 Toy of

the Year and Preferred Choice Award by Creative Child's Awards Program for

Abuelita Rosa and Abuelito Pancho. The Creative Child's Awards panel

consisted of over 50 moms and educators.
