LITTLE FRIEND DOLL
Younger children looking for a simple Waldorf-style doll of their own will fall in love with our Little Friend Dolls. Simply embroidered facial features and soft, cuddly bodies make these babies great for sharing a nap, a ride in the car or an adventure to the park. Little Friend Dolls are Fair Trade playmates which means that the people who make them are assured fair wages and safe working environments. Each doll has a cotton-interlock body and knitted cotton clothes that can be taken off and changed. Choice of natural, blue or pink.
11.25 inches tall. 3626--$39.90

DOLL STROLLER
Your son or daughter will delight in taking a beloved doll friend for a walk in our new Doll Stroller. These strollers are very sturdy so they will stand up to years of use and have a tendency not to tip over. The solid wood frame is supported by metal axles and rubber-edged wheels. Your child's doll will sit comfortably in the colorful, striped cotton seat with woven cotton ties to strap her in. In our experience, the height of the handle on our new Doll Strollers makes it ideal for children aged two to five years.
21.5 inches from floor to handle. 3625--$39.90

PIGGY BACK GAME
This is our new favorite board game to play as a family but it is equally fun for the boys to play on their own or with their friends. Each player chooses one color of wooden pig. Together all the players lay out the path for their pigs and also take the wooden disc that matches their pig. A roll of the die tells you how far your pig moves; if you get a red number, you can roll again. But if your friend's pig lands on the same spot, he'll get a piggy-back ride and move with you on your next turn. As one pig gets close to the end of the path, use your wooden token to pick up an earlier piece of the path to make it longer or to take an extra twist. One of the best parts of this game is that it can accommodate players at several different levels of strategic thinking and planning, but everyone has fun.
Travel size (1.38 inch-long pigs) or 3630--$19.90
Regular size (2.25 inch-long pigs). 3630--$33.90

CASTLE LABYRINTH MARBLE RUN
Our wooden marble run set is an exciting challenge for older children who enjoy building and figuring out how to put things together. Your children can choose from the varied wooden pieces and build a different marble run every time. The Latvian manufacturer of these pieces is internationally recognized for their strict environmental standards (SmartWood certified). Our son, Nicolai shines with happiness when his latest construction has the marbles popping out of unexpected tunnels and taking sharp turns into the final curve. This is a set that will come out again and again on a winter's day or rainy afternoon for fun indoor play. The pieces fit neatly into their own wooden box.
42 pieces & 3 glass marbles 3251--$38.90
