When I first discovered Waldorf 3 years ago (read more about that Here).....it was however the beautiful toys that made me fall in love with this way of life...way of teaching...way to slow down...way to be in the moment.
I love the simplicity of the toys.
I love that they are wooden.
I love that they are wool.
I love that they smell so wonderful.
I love how active it makes my child.
I love how the imagination it has created in her.
I love the natural element.
I love the dolls.
I love them all!
Playstand Arch And Playstandslike these are found in Waldorf kindergartens all over the world. They are a childs fantasy world. They can be a store, a house, a puppet show, a doll bed....wherever a childs imagination takes them! They also have lovely shelves to house a few other items. And a beautiful Night Sky Silkscape is placed over the Playstand Arch and Playstands to make it a secret beautiful hideaway. They are not cheap..that's for sure...but with all Waldorf toys they are of amazing quality and will last a life time!
This barn is one of my favorites! It's called Sam's Stable and it is so beautifully made....an heirloom piece!
Over these last few years I have simplified our toys to only wooden and only naturally made...mostly. We do have a big wheel and a couple of other unnatural toys but 99% are Waldorf approved.
If you haven't read Simplicity Parenting and you are interested in simplifying your life and your kids toys...I highly suggest reading it!
