Made with safe and reliable materials, they're safe for newborns, making them a great gift for baby showers or birthdays.

Handmade Waldorf Dolls

The warmth of hands always reaches the heart. Kathe Kruse's Waldorf dolls feature subdued eyes and mouths, allowing children to project their own feelings onto them. They are handmade using natural materials.

These dolls empathize with children's feelings, which are difficult to express in words. Their distinctive facial expressions appear happy when they're happy and sad when they're sad, stimulating their imagination and creativity.

This plays a key role in Steiner education, which respects each child's individuality and abilities. This educational method values each child's unique individuality. It's said that children project their emotions and imagination onto dolls, practicing emotional expression and fostering a balance between mind and body. Kathe Kruse is an officially licensed manufacturer of Waldorf dolls.

Friends with Warm Expressions

If you ask Germans, "What comes to mind when you think of German dolls?", most will likely answer Kathe Kruse.

Kathe Kruse is a doll manufacturer that began in 1911 in a small German workshop. It all began when a woman named Kathe Kruse wanted her daughters to have dolls with warm expressions to play with, so she created dolls that satisfied her needs. At the time, hard, cold porcelain dolls were the norm, and her soft dolls, suitable for newborns, were a rare find. The handmade dolls, which started with one painter and five seamstresses, gained a reputation at toy exhibitions and established themselves as representative German dolls. Even now, more than 100 years later, the company still cherishes traditional craftsmanship while also innovating to suit the modern era.
