My work place

Doll making process

I like making kids happy, and I'm sure that a nice Waldorf doll is a good way to do it!

My name is Varva. I'm an architect, designer and Waldorf doll artist.
I made my first Waldorf doll for my little daughter in 2014. Now I also make dolls for other children all over the world.

When making my dolls I always pay attention to the details trying to breath life into each baby. All my dolls are unique and have their own personalities. They are soft, cute and handmade only of natural materials of high quality.

A Waldorf doll is a handcrafted, natural-material doll inspired by the principles of Waldorf education. These dolls are typically made of cotton fabric and wool, with simple, neutral facial features. This minimalism encourages children's imagination, allowing them to project emotions and stories onto the doll.

Why is it called a Waldorf doll?

The name comes from the Waldorf education system, founded by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. The dolls are designed to align with the educational philosophy's emphasis on creativity, imagination, and the use of natural materials.

Principles of Waldorf Education

Waldorf education focuses on nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—through age-appropriate, hands-on activities and artistic expression. It encourages imagination, free play, and a deep connection to nature, with minimal exposure to technology during early childhood.
