The Dwarf Forest
Details
This forest is classic Waldorf-inspired play! Made from wood with felt accessories, the Dwarf Forest takes principles of Waldorf education - nature, storytelling, unstructured play, and the balance of cognitive, social-emotional and physical development - and translates them into an heirloom quality set that anyone can enjoy. Set comes with 16 pieces, including dwarves, animals, trees, mushrooms, and felt forest ground cover.
Recommended for ages 2+
Why We Love It
Much like their counterparts for older kids, first building toys are fantastic for providing lessons in cause and effect, spatial reasoning, problem solving and decision making, as well as fine motor skills! Building can be an open-ended activity, or it can be guided by a visual touchstone - both styles of play offer value, as open-ended building encourages creativity while guided building teaches little ones how to follow directions, physically replicate what they see, and troubleshoot issues that arise.
