FAQ
What materials are used in Waldorf dolls?
Our Waldorf dolls are made from natural materials such as certified organic pima cotton fabric, 100% sheep wool roving, and 100% pure alpaca hair and clothing. These superior natural fibers are soft and comforting. In addition the women enjoy artistic freedom and are able to choose the colorful fibers and embellish the dolls in their own creative style. The color harmonies and textures offer a soothing sensory experience for both the doll maker and the recipient of the doll.
Why Alpaca?
Doll clothing and doll hair is made from baby alpaca wool. The ancient Incas called alpaca “the fiber of the gods” because it is softer than cashmere, warmer and softer than sheep’s wool, and is hypoallergenic as it doesn’t contain lanolin. It also repels water and additionally has antibacterial properties. Wash the clothing by hand with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. The doll, with its pima cotton body and sheep wool interior, can be spot cleaned with mild soap and air dried.
Are Waldorf dolls good gifts?
Yes. They are meaningful, unique gifts that support imaginative play and emotional connection.
“If a child has been able in his play to give up his whole loving being to the world around him, he will be able, in serious tasks of later life, to devote himself with confidence and power to the service of the world.”
Rudolf Steiner
Lasting Memories
“I gave this to my granddaughter and watched her hold it so gently, like it already belonged to her. Within minutes she was talking to it, caring for it, completely absorbed.
It wasn’t just a toy to her—it felt like she had been given a little companion, and I could see her imagination come alive right in front of me.”
