Purposeful Playthings Join V&A Museum of Childhood in London

In the 100th year of Steiner Waldorf education globally, London’s V&A Museum of Childhood  (the largest institution of its kind in the world) has acquired two new acquisitions for its major redevelopment: a girl and a boy Waldorf doll from Edinburgh Steiner School Trust. They will join an internationally significant collection of dolls.

To mark the 150th anniversary of the museum’s historic building in 2022, V&A has embarked on a flagship project to reinvent the much-loved Museum of Childhood. As the most ambitious project in its history, this years-long curation will establish it as a world-leading museum of design and creativity, showcasing nationally significant anthologies of childhood for generations to come.

The two V&A Museum acquisitions were made by a Steiner handwork teacher for a wee red-headed, blue-eyed lassie in the playgroup. The auburn hair is a characteristic less than 2% of the world’s population have (13% in Scotland, theorized by scientist as having something to do with the dreich Scottish weather). Natural ‘gingers’ with blue eyes form the rarest combination on earth.
