With this beautiful Dollbelge^© DIY kit, you can create your own soft cuddle doll, inspired by the Waldorf doll-making tradition and based on the book Sunshine Dolls. The kit is very beginner-friendly and includes carefully selected, high-quality materials – among them the exclusive Dollbelge premium cotton fabrics illustrated by Daniela Drescher.

This kit is the result of an exclusive collaboration between Mercurius, Dollbelge and the authors and editors of the book Sunshine Dolls.

What is a cuddle doll?
A cuddle doll is often a child’s very first doll: simple, soft and comforting. Its flexible body and fixed outfit make it easy to hold, carry and cuddle. The calm design and gentle shape invite imaginative play and companionship, while offering a reassuring presence in a young child’s everyday world.

This DIY kit contains:

• Tubular bandage
• Mercerized 100% cotton doll jersey
• Strong binding thread plus extra neckline thread in matching skin tone
• Nicky velours for the pyjama
• Bouclé mohair for the hair
• One piece (50 × 80 cm) of Dollbelge Exclusive premium cotton fabric, illustrated by Daniela Drescher© (for clothing, sleeping bag, etc.)
• 2 metres of mercerized DMC cotton embroidery floss in a matching colour
• A beautiful Dollbelge postcard

Available in three versions: Dusty Rose, Autumn Orange, Moss Green
Suitable for ages 14 months and up.

This wonderful kit is perfect for anyone who would like to create their first handmade doll with care, warmth and creativity. It pairs beautifully with the book Sunshine Dolls, available in our webshop in English. We wholeheartedly recommend it as the essential first book for anyone beginning—or wishing to deepen—their practice of Waldorf-inspired doll making.

Tip: Don’t forget to add natural wool filling to your order.

We wish all Waldorf doll-making enthusiasts great joy in crafting their own Sunshine Dolls!
