| Sweet Elm, Waldorf Inspired Dolls |
Sweet Elm is an Australian based, family run business.
We’re long-term wanderers from opposite sides of the world, currently exploring
Australia's east coast. We're nature lovers and adventure-seekers with a
passion for making.
Back in 2010, our little ones were growing into
toddlers and watching them made us strong believers in the magic of open-ended
play. We watched in awe as they tapped into deep wells of imagination and
freedom. As parents we wanted to provide our kids with quality handmade toys.
Toys that reflected our values and could be treasured in our family for many
years. We envisioned magical wee folk who could join our children in their
play.
We first started making
these dolls because we couldn’t find the toys we were after in shops. We were
seeking simple, yet beautiful toys that let our children’s imaginations lead
the way. What we never anticipated was how these wee dolls could bring so much
joy purely in the process of making them. In learning how to make them we
gained skills that flowed into other creations for our home. But the greatest
joy of all came from the slow stitching, which was eagerly watched by our
darlings as they waited for their new friend.
I hope I have packaged all of that into these humble kits. The pure pleasure that comes from taking a moment to quietly stitch for someone you love. The excitement the children feel as they watch their dolls come to life. And the new skills and confidence to make other handmade treasures that will last for years to come. I hope with all my heart, to pass on the gifts that these wee dolls have given to me.
