Would you like to create your own Sunshine Dolls – dolls that are not only beautiful and playful, but also strong, durable and thoughtfully made? This inspiring book has become something of a “Bible of Waldorf Doll Making” and brings together all the techniques you need to make Waldorf-inspired dolls in one comprehensive guide.

Written by experienced doll makers Marjolein van Leeuwen and Conny Dekker, and beautifully illustrated by Janneke Rosenbrand, the book offers clear step-by-step instructions, detailed patterns and inspiring imagery that guide you through the entire doll-making process. The techniques are presented with a pedagogical background, helping you create dolls that support different stages of child development. Simple clothing patterns are also included.

The book is designed with the maker in mind. Its large format and sturdy binding allow it to lie flat while you work, making it easy to follow the instructions as you craft. The inside cover summarises the most important techniques at a glance, while each chapter is playfully designed in its own colour so you can easily navigate between topics. The book also includes a beautiful bookmark.

If you would like to start making your own doll right away, a beginner-friendly Sunshine Doll Making Kit, created by Dollbelge, is available on our webshop in three versions. These kits contain the essential materials to begin your own Sunshine Doll journey. The book is highly recommended by Dollbelge, and even formed the foundation of Viktoriya’s own doll-making journey. She wholeheartedly recommends it as the essential first book for anyone beginning or wishing to deepen their practice of Waldorf-inspired doll making.

We wish all Waldorf doll-making enthusiasts great joy in discovering this wonderful book and crafting their own Sunshine Dolls!
