Walddorf toys for
kindergarten and home
I noticed how important dolls are for children during my training as a Waldorf kindergarten teacher. The first dolls I sewed were for my sons. When I saw the two of them playing with them, I noticed that the dolls are more than just a toy, they are also a friend, companion, comforter and listener.
From then on I decided to make all the dolls for my kindergarten myself. Now, after seeing the joy with which the children play with the dolls, I would like to share this joy with the world. |

The Mia Mara doll
Each Mia Mara doll is handcrafted, unique and made from high quality materials:
• The hair is made of wool or mohair
• The dolls' clothes are made of organic doll jersey (Swiss jersey)
• The mouth and eyes are hand made embroidered with colored thread
• The shell of the doll is made of 100% cotton and Swiss jersey
• The filling consists of 100% fair new or sheep wool (a sand filling can optionally be sewn into the fuselage)
The size of the dolls varies between 35 and 42 cm

About Mia Mara
My name is Maria Popescu. I live in Berlin since 1990 and have been working as a Waldorf kindergarten teacher for over 20 years.
Making dolls isn't just a hobby for me, it's my great passion. The loving handwork relaxes me and helps me to calm down.
The effort and care I put into sewing creates a close relationship and love between the doll and the child.

Cuddle doll
The doll is very suitable for cuddling, sleeping and comforting.
In contrast to synthetic fibers, wool takes on little odor (sweat) and has a natural self-cleaning function, i.e. smells absorbed are released back into the air. After a short ventilation, the wool smells neutral and fresh again.
Dolls for the very young children (1 year).

Saint Nicholas
