"The over-riding principle of a "healthy" toy is that it allows involvement and activity by the child. Peg dolls are small, enchanting, and easy to make. They are a perfect craft for children and can become the inspiration for endless play and storytelling. Margaret Bloom invites you to enter the tiny magical world of peg dolls. Coming from the Waldorf handcraft tradition, these dolls encourage creative play and promote the emotional and imaginative development of young children. Peg dolls can be made from natural materials to reflect the seasonal cycle, favourite fairytales and festivals from around the world. Inside this book you will find patterns for creating bluebirds & butterflies, flowers & fairytale figures, gnomes, winter angels and more: Easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for children and crafters of all levels and experience. A range of over 60 designs and patterns for peg doll illustrations and photos in full colour. Ideas for peg dolls as gifts and toys, for seasonal nature tables or fairs. Also includes an inspiring section on storytelling with peg dolls, as well as a resource guide listing suppliers of wooden doll bases, wool felt and other supplies"--Provided by publisher.
