• Steiner educators will love how these natural dolls can be used in a myriad of ways to learn and develop.

This toy inspired by the Waldorf Steiner education movement which advocates learning through thoughtful, creative play at an unhurried pace.

• Toys play an important part of the learning experience and Waldorf toys are made with natural materials, beautiful and simplistic – the lack of details allow children to fill in the blanks with their imaginations. 
• They can be used in multiple ways in creative play scenarios, rather than being prescriptive.  Waldorf-inspired toys are wonderfully tactile and call on children to play with them.

Rainbow And Friends in Cups

✔️Developing a range of skills as he practised taking the friend out and putting it back in over and over again – grasping, hand-eye coordination, wrist development and working on coordinating both hands together, as well as developing his concentration. So many skills from such a simple looking toy!

✔️As toddlers use matching bowl matching color to place in the cup. The Friends in Cups also lend themselves to naming colours and counting.

✔️The size of the peg people allow them to be hidden inside two bowls by placing an upside down bowl on top of another, so can also be used as a tool for learning about object permanence with a simple game of hide and seek!

✔️Another way to introduce colour matching and sorting (and make it a fine motor activity!) is to use the bowls to sort coloured objects such as buttons or these small coloured beans.

✔️The colours are so vibrant and perfect for developing that language about each colour with your baby or toddler.
