How cute are these? spent a lovely evening helping a friend decipher the instructions for this acorn boy, waldorf doll kit.
These dolls are brilliant, detail is kept to a minimum so that the child can choose what mood the doll is in, and what s/he is going to do today. They are soft and cuddly, made with natural materials, stuffed with sheeps wool, unlike many commercial dolls which often have hard plastic faces and limbs, and as they are made by hand, each one is individual. Often made with the child in mind who it will be given to. They are completely personal and unique to that child. They can become a companion, and be the focus of play, make believe, role play and mimicking play. They are also quite easy to make, you don't need to be brilliant at sewing!!
When the acorn boy is completed, I'm going to make some others using ideas and patterns in this making waldorf dolls book
