Inspired by my daughter's love of animals and encouraging her to learn about what she loves. Darby the deer is part of my British wild animal collection: uniting the art of traditional waldorf doll making with the championing of natural materials and encouraging children to connect with the natural world. A perfect companion from birth this little deer will delight all ages. Darby the deer is approximately 18 cm tall - perfectly portable, robust and stout! He will comes in a beautiful gift box made from recycled materials, wrapped in a tissue paper. He will come with care and washing instructions and all my dolls come with a doll's hospital pass - just contact me when he needs some tlc! Included with him is an information card with a traditional illustration on the front and child-friendly facts on the back. CE marked and safe from birth. Darby is made from all natural materials:- At his core is British wool and his head is shaped the same way as my dolls - using the heritage craft waldorf technqiue. - His body is made from soft cotton velour with his soft tummy made from wool felt and firmly sewn down.- His hands and tail and spots are made from pure wool felt and securely stitched into place.- His head is covered with pure wool felt, shaped and sculpted to fit individually. - Finally his facial feautures are hand embroidered with cotton thread. Lead timeEach one is made to order. Please allow me 1-2 weeks to make your Darby the deer.
