Craftster user carrieme of Sew Very Carrie made a Waldorf-style doll using items from the dollar store. Today's the first day I've heard of Waldorf dolls, and this Craftster post is the second mention I have come across of them!

Look at the dolly's adorable socks and mary jane shoes!

Project Estimate for doll:

1 pair trouser socks $1
1 pair pink tights $1
1 bag cotton balls $1
1 skein acrylic yarn $1

Doll total: $4

Project Estimate for clothes:

1 baby onesie
1 baby dress
1 plastic bead kit

Clothing total: $3

Here are some nice instructions for making a Waldorf doll.

And some more instructions for forming the distinct Waldorf head.

great idea, however, isn’t the idea behind waldorf dolls to use all natural materials?
cottons, wools, great… not so sure about acrylic, plastic…aren’t the dolls supposed to be filled with wool?
just curious if the design is being used for traditional waldorf play?

The original concept for Waldorf Dolls was natural materials, but I also think the started back in a time when synthetics were not available. I think just using these easy to get supplies is very good. A Waldorf inspired doll of our day and age!
