Dolls, Dolls, Dolls!

Standard
Often I have a doll that I'm working on in the kitchen, in between games, puzzles and books with the littles. I came back to sewing this guy and looked down at the book he was resting on. I thought it to be in perfect correlation with what a Waldorf doll stands for, and the purpose the serve to our precious littles. Playing with dolls with a neutral facial expression assist children in expressing all emotions through play.

(On the kitchen island, on a clean surface of course, is the only area where little hands can’t yet reach.)  I came back to sewing this guy and looked down at the book he was resting on. I thought it to be in perfect correlation with what a Waldorf doll stands for, and the purpose they serve for our precious littles. Playing with dolls with a neutral facial expression assist children in expressing all emotions through play-happiness, anger, frustration, boredom, excitement, etc. Since little minds have challenges expressing these emotions, they often express these through play. Heck, adult minds have trouble expressing emotions. Maybe that’s why I love dolls 🙂

Working on putting together a dress for the beautiful red head on the left. Just finished the doll on the right yesterday-think he's going to be my first boy doll!
