Morrissette and her suitcase, a wardrobe to go
A soft 28 cm teddy bear hides inside a small, hand-stitched pink suitcase. Inside, waiting for her, are her cream-colored floral embroidered dress, a dusty pink cotton double gauze cardigan, bloomers, a bib, and a wooden baby bottle. Open it up, dress her, close it back up, and the suitcase is ready to be carried under your arm.
Care-taking play, beyond simple dressing
What sets Morrissette apart is the wooden bottle and bib tucked into her belongings. The child does more than just change an outfit: they feed, cover up when it's chilly, get ready for a walk, and put to bed. These are exactly the gestures they receive themselves every day, and here they repeat them from the perspective of the caregiver.
This role reversal is very significant, especially with the arrival of a new baby brother or sister. Sliding stuffed-animal arms into the sleeves of a tiny cardigan also requires real precision, developing fine motor skills without anyone even asking.

Once emptied, the suitcase becomes an ideal hiding spot. Morrissette also pairs well with Morris, the bear who also travels with his own suitcase.
