Käthe Kruse Waldorf Dolls

I wanted to give you perspective on the Käthe Kruse Waldorf dolls without watching a video. You can see the various sized dolls sitting next to each other. They are each - so unique and so soft. I loved playing with the fibered hairs -can't wait until my little one is old enough to play with dolls with hair. We're almost to the right age where we can go beyond the baldies and the dolls with the yarn hair will be a wonderful start.

Käthe Kruse WALDORF Rosa of the Milky Way 10.5" and
Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Protection Angel 10" you'll see her below too. The delicate Fairies and Elves from Käthe Kruse inspire the imagination. They live in a fairytale world with wispy long mohair held in ribbons or caps, just longing to be held by a sweet little child.

Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Libelle purple 13"
and Käthe Kruse Waldorf Mini It's Me Nature Conservation Angel.

Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Libelle purple 13",
Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Rose 15"
even though Libelle and Rose are similar in size, Rose is heavier a good doll for 3 year olds and older. Smallest but precious is the Käthe Kruse Waldorf Mini It's Me Nature Conservation Angel.
Käthe Kruse WALDORF DOLL Baby brown - 12"
and Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Butterfly brown 13".

Close-up of the Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Mini It's Me Protection Angel 10" who carries a heart wand!
Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Fairy pink 7"-I just love the pink hair. She has dainty very soft pink mesh wings too!

Same as above the Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Mini It's Me Protection Angel 10"
and the Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Fairy pink 7".

I call these dolls little pocket fairy babies because they are tucked into the cutiest pouches with handles, like a little fairy bed to carry around your enchanting baby. Käthe Kruse Doll WALDORF Mini It's Me Baby blonde 8 1/2".
