This Sun, Moon, and Star hand-embroidered wool felt doll set was inspired by the Brothers Grimm story of "The Seven Ravens." In the story, a king and a queen have seven sons but yearn for a daughter. When that long-awaited daughter was born, she was so frail that the king sent his sons to fetch water from the well for an emergency baptism. In their eagerness to get the water quickly, the sons dropped the pitcher into the well. They were terrified to return, and the king in his anxiety calls out, “I wish those boys would all turn into ravens!”

You can guess what happened next. Fortunately, the baby princess grew strong, and when she learned of her brothers' ill-fated transformation into ravens, she set out to find them, She journeyed to the sun and to the moon, but they were of no help. It was only when she met with the stars that she found goodwill and hope in her quest.*

You can use the Sun, Moon, and Star doll set as part of your own retelling of The Seven Ravens, to make up your own stories, or as figures to inspire you from a corner of your desk. I have known grownups and teens to enjoy my dolls as much as children do. Sun and Moon stand approximately 7 cm tall (2.75 inches), and little Star stands 5.3 cm tall (a little over 2 inches). Their capes and bases are embroidered with attention to detail, and faces are embroidered simply in the Waldorf tradition to encourage open, creative play.

This set is suitable for display and storytelling, and should be kept out of reach from pets and children who still put toys in their mouths (small parts may be a choking hazard). The bases of the dolls are signed in thread with my signature “A.”

Please read my Policies prior to purchase. For more hand-crafted toys and other items intended to delight children, search for "NaturalKids Team" on Etsy.

This set is available for immediate shipping and will be simply wrapped. Once you pay with PayPal, your package will be shipped within 2 business days.

Customers outside of the United States and Canada: please send me a message to inquire about international shipping rates for your country.

I care about each doll I sew, and hope you will find a doll in the shop that you feel is yours.
