Locally handmade, each one of Heidi’s creations is unique.

Or ask about her custom made fully formed dolls. You can choose skin, hair and eye colour etc. to match the doll to your child’s own features.

 

Stockmar Modelling Beeswax

Stockmar modelling beeswax is an ideal modelling material: clean in handling and absolutely hygienic.

It won't smudge, crumble or bleed and its colour is pure and bright making it ideal for forming small sculptures.

Beeswax becomes pliable when warmed in the hands or placed near a heater or in warm water.

By working with modelling beeswax, children train their fine motor skills, stimulates creativity and invention.

Start with simple shapes and animals using one colour at a time. Figures can become more complicated with experience.

The joy of beeswax is that it uses the child's warmth to become usable and it can be warmed and reused indefinitely.

Available in 6 or 12 colours

 

Stockmar Wax Blocks (Crayons)

Stockmar Wax Crayons meet the highest artistic standards, and like all Stockmar products are completely non-toxic and won’t harm your health or the environment.

Through the addition of pure beeswax as a binding agent, the light-resistant pigments display their purity and full brilliance.

The colours are able to be used in a wide range of interesting colouring techniques - more than any other colouring material. The natural transparency of the wax and the lack of additives result in a high degree of opacity like that of watercolours.

Stockmar crayons are used in Waldorf Steiner Schools all over the world.

The block style crayons are ideal for children’s developing grip as a regular shaped crayon often promotes a fist like grip, tightening of the wrist and a block in creative flow.

Thick and easy to hold children instinctively pick up Stockmar Wax Blocks between their thumb and fingers – much more like the way we eventually hold a pen or pencil.

Sold Individually, or in tins of 8 or 16 colours.
