My doll is about 16 cm tall. We crochet in spiral rounds. The end or beginning of a round must be marked with a piece of yarn. The marker moves up after each round. It requires patience and practice, and you will get the desired result—a beautiful, realistic doll

"Chug chug chug goes the train, who wants to go on vacation?..."
You can crochet a lovely nostalgic train here using colorful cotton yarn: great fun for the little ones who can’t yet play with an electric train, and a wonderful decorative piece for all train fans! The locomotive and cars are reinforced inside with thick felt. The cars are open so little dolls can ride along. The individual cars are coupled together with hook-and-loop fasteners.
Here is the crochet pattern for the train!



Crocheted hand puppets are suitable even for younger children, because they are much lighter and sturdier than puppets with wooden heads. Plus, they can be washed easily if they are ever "forgotten" in the garden or sandbox. With handmade hand puppets, you can let your imagination run free and add your own ideas.
In the picture above you can see a value set consisting of 6 basic characters that appear in almost every Punch and Judy show: Punch, Grandmother, Seppel, Gretel, Robber, and Crocodile. Here you save over 33% compared to buying them individually!
Here is the crochet pattern for the Punch and Judy puppet value set!

And for the very little ones, you can crochet a set of cute finger puppets for a Punch and Judy theater from small bits of leftover yarn. Children who are just starting daycare can hold them more easily than the larger hand puppets. Here you have a pattern for figures for a 10-finger puppet theater: Punch. Seppel, Gretel, Grandmother, Crocodile, and Robber, plus: Policeman, Witch, King, and Princess.

Doll clothes are definitely part of the toy world. With them, you'll make every little doll mom's face light up.

How about a crocheted sleeping bag that also fits in the doll stroller? Dolls up to 50 cm tall can fit inside. It is easy to crochet, and everything is explained well.

Of course, a baby doll needs a diaper too. This is especially useful when there are siblings around. The little doll mom can join in with everything. The diaper is very easy to crochet and, thanks to the Velcro closure, also easy to put on and take off.

Every toddler with a Puky, tricycle, or balance bike needs a bag like this that can be attached very easily. It has a double bottom, so it is quite sturdy. Good crochet experience is recommended here.

Ball gown with tulle underskirt
A beautiful and magnificent dress for the big ball evening. First we crochet the dress. Then we sew tulle under the skirt. It will now keep this puffy shape permanently. For the top part, you have 3 design options to choose from. The dress fastens at the back with snap fasteners. My 6-year-old granddaughter, who has my whole range to choose from, loves this dress the most.



Princess bed with bedding and all the trimmings
When the little girl has to go to bed in the evening, it would be a lovely ritual to put her little doll to sleep too. Here comes the matching four-poster bed, complete with blanket, pillow, and rug. Everyone in the family could make something from this set ... Grandpa builds the bed, Grandma sews the bedding, and the big sister might crochet the pillows.



Doll fashion set, 2 pieces
The set consists of a skirt with a flounce. You can crochet the skirt in any length you like. The top goes wonderfully with it. Both pieces fasten at the back with snap fasteners. The clothing is easy for crochet beginners to make and is sure to make many doll mommies happy.

With this jumping jack owl , I’d like to present a toy that you can make yourself and that makes for a lovely decoration during playtime.

The owl works just like other jumping jack figures—pulling the string sets the figure in motion. But there’s a little extra here: the wings and tail fan out.



In addition to the usual techniques required for paper crafting, the ability to work precisely and a technical understanding are also great advantages here.
The owl is made of photo cardstock and measures approximately 22.5 x 27.5 cm.

Our children and grandchildren always need toys. They can let their imagination run free with them,
