The Artist Behind the Nursery
Meet Little Mouse Nursery
Where every baby is crafted with intention, love, and artistry
Little Mouse Nursery is the reborning nursery name of artist and collector Kelli Maple. As a dedicated reborn artist, Kelli has spent years perfecting the delicate craft of bringing lifelike babies to life through paint, rooting, and an extraordinary eye for detail.
Kelli has been collecting reborn dolls since 2014, and her passion for the artistry grew so deeply that she became a practising reborn artist in June 2016. Every nursery baby reflects hours of careful, loving work — from the first layers of Genesis paint to the final wisp of hand-rooted hair.

My Journey
A Decade of Passion for Reborn Art
My love for reborn dolls began in 2014 when I discovered this incredible community of artists and collectors who shared a passion for lifelike, handcrafted babies. From the moment I held my first reborn, I was captivated — not just by the artistry, but by the warmth and connection these beautiful creations bring to people's lives.
By 2016, the collector in me had evolved into a full reborn artist. What began as curiosity quickly became a calling. Each baby I create is a unique piece, painted and rooted entirely by hand using the finest materials — Genesis heat-set paints, premium mohair, and hand-selected sculpts from the world's most celebrated reborn kit artists.
The Little Mouse Nursery Philosophy
At Little Mouse Nursery, no two babies are ever the same. I believe that every reborn deserves its own personality, its own story, and its own forever home. Whether you are a seasoned collector, a therapeutic companion seeker, or simply someone who appreciates extraordinary handcrafted art, there is a nursery baby waiting just for you.
My commitment as a reborn artist is to quality without compromise — from the precision of each painted vein and blushed skin tone, to the softness of every rooted strand of hair. I pour my heart into every creation, and I am so grateful to share this passion with a community that feels the same.

I run my business independently, focusing on quality over quantity. Every reborn doll you see here is carefully hand-painted by me over many hours of dedication and craftsmanship. Because each piece is handmade, no two dolls are ever identical—every baby is truly unique and one of a kind.
Since beginning my reborning journey in 2016, I have continuously refined my techniques and artistic style. Over the years, I have created several prototype dolls that reflect my growth and passion—pieces I am incredibly proud of.
Today, I work full-time as an entrepreneur, balancing both my YouTube presence and my reborn doll artistry. While this is my full-time career, it also means I may not always be immediately available to respond to messages or complete orders quickly.
As a one-person business, availability can vary, and there may not always be dolls listed on the site. However, I am always creating behind the scenes. For the latest updates and progress photos, my Instagram stories are the best place to stay connected.

My Reborn Journey: From Collector to Creator
2014: Where It All Began
My journey into the world of reborn dolls began in 2014 when I welcomed my very first reborn baby into my collection. From that moment, I was captivated by the realism, artistry, and emotional connection these lifelike creations offer. That same year, I started my YouTube channel to share my collection and connect with a growing community of reborn enthusiasts worldwide.
2016: Becoming a Reborn Artist
In June 2016, I took a major step forward by becoming a reborn artist myself. I dedicated countless hours to learning every detail of the craft—from painting delicate skin tones with Genesis Heat Set Paints to rooting fine mohair hair strand by strand. Each doll I created helped me grow, refine my techniques, and better understand the beauty of lifelike artistry.
Today: A Full-Time Reborn Artist
Today, I am proud to work full-time as a reborn artist and content creator. What began as a passion has grown into a full-time career where I create one-of-a-kind dolls, share my journey online, and connect with collectors around the world. Every baby from my nursery is handcrafted entirely by me with no shortcuts—just passion, precision, and love.
What Makes Kelli Maple Nursery Special
Every doll from my nursery is 100% handmade by me alone. There is no mass production—each baby is individually painted, rooted, assembled, and brought to life with care. From meticulous hand-painted details and premium mohair rooting to realistic weighting and certified authenticity, each doll is truly unique and crafted to be cherished for years.
My Artistic Evolution: Always Learning & Growing
Since starting in 2016, I have continuously evolved as an artist. Through experimentation, practice, and dedication, I’ve improved my techniques and created several prototype dolls that mark key milestones in my growth. I remain committed to learning, refining, and pushing the boundaries of realism in every piece I create.
A Small Business with a Big Heart
As an independent artist, I manage every aspect of my nursery personally. This means response times may vary, and availability can be limited—but it also ensures every doll receives my full attention and care. I regularly share updates and work-in-progress content on Instagram, making it the best place to stay connected with my latest creations.
