Waldorf Kathe Kruse Mermaid Doll


Little girls love mermaids, and I love Waldorf dolls. I have always been drawn to the work of dollmaker Kathe Kruse, the oldest German doll company. “Handwork, simplicity of design, integrity, and an aversion to gimmicks and fads are still very much a part of how the dolls are made. Each doll and item of doll clothing is made by hand and takes from 16 to 36 hours to make. During that time, it will pass through the hands of 8 to 10 craftspeople and artists.”

Magic Cabin offers an affordable, Small Waldorf Mermaid by Kathe Kruse. This doll is made of all natural cotton, wool, and mohair. The tail is removable, allowing the doll to live on land, as well as the sea of your child’s imagination. The detailing on the doll includes beading and shimmering threads. My daughter adores her Small Waldorf Mermaid, which makes the perfect travel companion due to her small size. Kathe Kruse makes natural toys you can feel good about!

    What wonderful dolls. I’ve always loved Waldorf dolls but they’re so darn expensive. My husband wasn’t happy spending $30 for one we got our oldest daughter, and yet there are times when a childs happiness is priceless and sometimes the extra money is worth it.

    I find it very interesting that there are no mermaids of color…. I wonder why that is?

    Great point Julia! I hadn’t realized this before reading your comment. You can chose skin colors for the Magic Cabin doll kits, but these dolls are definitely missing an accurate cultural representation.

    Don’t know who designs them now, but Kaethe modelled her first dolls on her own children. Perhaps the company designers have carried on her practice. Cannot explain colour of mermaids though
