Kathe Kruse is the only official maker of
Waldorf dolls
approved/licensed by the Waldorf Association.
The
beautiful Kathe Kruse Waldorf
dolls are still made just as they were made by the Kathe Kruse
Company 100 years ago, individually handmade using natural materials.
The warmth of the natural wool and cotton, rendered in beautiful colors
and fabrics and lovely doll designs, brings each doll to life.
Because they are individually handmade using natural materials, the
Kathe Kruse Waldorf dolls are unique as each child is unique. By
playing with these dolls, children develop their imagination and
creativity. The charming, simple expression of these Waldorf dolls
give children a clean slate to stimulate their imaginations and express
their own feelings.
The
Kathe Kruse Waldorf dolls
embody the Waldorf philosophy that a child should grow up in a natural
environment with limited stimuli like televisions ,computers and
electronics. To read and tell stories to a child is much more
important to a child's development and emotional well-being; reading to
a child and telling stories sparks their curiosity and challenges
the brain. Simple educational toys encourage a child to ask, "What
is hidden in this thin, or how does it work? Toys should
never be too perfect nor have a specific function - rather a toy should
be simple. Kathe Kruse's goal is for children to discover their
imagination and creativity, growing and learning while playing.
The
neutral features of a Waldorf doll help to develop a child's imagination
and allows the child to see the doll laughing, crying, sleeping, and
being happy or sad. Through the child's imagination, the child
imparts soul-feelings to the doll.
There are
different Waldorf dolls for different ages. In the first year, a
simple Kathe Kruse Towel Doll
without arms and legs is ideal. It is easy to grab and little
fingers practice holding the doll.
After the
first birthday, children love to carry their dolls, and begin using
their imaginations to develop the doll's personality. A small
light doll with arms and legs is ideal. (For example, the
Kathe Kruse Sweetheart Dolls,
the Kathe Kruse Nicki-Gnome dolls, and the
Kathe Kruse
Nicki Baby Dolls.
At around
the third year, children tend to want to have and hold a doll like
him/herself.
In
kindergarten the child meets other children with whom the child has to
get along and exchange views. At this age children want to
practice pretend washing with the doll, caring for the doll (dressing
and changing clothing) and just playing with the dolls, using their
imaginations. At this age children also enjoy caring for their
little doll friend(s); finger combing the hair soft mohair wool hair or
the soft boucle wool hair; changing doll clothing outfits .

At 34 inches tall, our Kathe Kruse It's Me
Waldorf dolls are sized to be a child's best friend! The Kathe
Kruse It's Me dolls can wear clothing in a toddler Size 2 or 3. It
is so much fun to dress them in the children's favorite outgrown
outfits! (Our sweet little 7 1/2 year old loves to dress her
Kathe Kruse It's Me doll in her own best outgrown toddler dresses and
outfits. It's so cute to see her dressing up her doll in clothes
that she herself used to wear!) |
