What in the world

are Waldorf toys? I've seen pics of dolls and they look like "plain" type people...like Mennonite but fancier. Are these for the people you see with large families (typically) and the women and girls always have long hair and dresses on? I just figured they were Mennonites. :shrug: Someone 'splain it to me.

They can't be represenative of "waldorf" - they would be dressed as gangstas

They're just a type of doll. :shrug: I think they're handmade. I find them to be much cuter than the ugly plastic things they sell in toy stores.

They're cute...kinda like a doll my mom made for me when I was little. I just didn't know if it was associated with any religious beliefs, or maybe homeschooling.

I think the idea behind Waldorf toys is that they are made of natural materials (wood, wool, cotton), instead of plastic or man-made fibers. They're "supposed" to be safer and more enriching. I'm making my kids Waldorf dolls from kits - not necessarily b/c of the benefits of natural materials, but because I can customize them and I HOPE they like something I made for them
