ABOUT THE WALDORF DOLL

(information taken from Making Waldorf Dolls book also available in my store).

A Waldorf doll (also called Steiner doll) is a form of doll used in Waldorf education. Made of wool and cotton, using techniques drawing on traditional European dollmaking, its appearance is intentionally simple in order to allow the child playing with it to improve or strengthen imagination and creativity. For instance, it has no facial expression. Its legs and arms are flexible, allowing natural postures. 

Technique:[citation needed] Traditional Waldorf dolls are made from cotton interlock knit fabric and wool stuffing. They are often entirely natural. Typically the trademark long hair of a Waldorf doll is made of mohair or boucle. Some doll makers use alternative hair material such as: Wool, Rayon, and Cotton. The facial features of a Waldorf doll vary with the maker. Most Waldorf dolls have small suggestions of noses, their eye and mouth colors are generally varied with each doll .

Many people may prefer to make their own Waldorf Dolls learning from others at their child’s Steiner play groups or c school or even buy locally. However, by buying these dolls you are supporting a fantastic FAIR TRADE project (THE Q’EWAR PROJECT) for under privileged women in Peru. It is a social and economic initiative working with the indigenous women living in a Quechua speaking village community in southern Peru. It takes 5 days for each doll to be completed!! The women love to work outdoors where possible.

A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THE MONEY IS GOING TO THE PROJECT. …I HAVE PAID FOR ALL THE DOLLS ALREADY SO THE MONEY HAS ALREADY GONE TO THE Q'EWAR PROJECT. SO WHY NOT SUPPORT THIS WONDERFUL INITIATIVE...THE MORE YOU BUY THE MORE I CAN BUY TO SELL AND SUPPORT THIS PROJECT!

AND THESE DOLLS ARE JUST SO GORGEOUS…THE MORE PEOPLE WHO BUY AND SELL THESE DOLLS THE BETTER.
