Molly's Dolly
Parents often find it very difficult to explain heart surgery and the resulting scars to very young children.
Children's Heart Federation have come up with the idea of using Molly's Dollies, a rag doll with surgical scars, to help explain scarring to children with heart conditions. These dolls can be used to gently introduce the idea of operations and scars to your child.
Find out more about the Molly's Dolly and how they can help by downloading the Children's Heart Federation Molly's Dolly fact sheet.
