small giveaways- Moonchild Studio Doll

This week's giveaway is a beautiful, carefully handmade, one of a kind, 15" Waldorf style doll from Moonchild Studio. This particular doll (pictured on the left) was specially made for our readers at Smaller* and that's not all.... Berrie was kind enough to offer the readers a 20% discount on a Custom Order Doll for a January, February or March delivery. Just go to her Etsy site or blog and use SMALLMAG as the code when you order. 

A Moonchild doll is an all-natural doll that is made with natural fibers. This doll is made with European cotton interlock fabric that complies with Oeko-tex standard 100, wool stuffing, and mohair hair.  Her clothes are hand made with European corduroy and knit fabrics and her hat and shoes are made with 100% wool felt.  She comes with a care sheet and a re-blushing cloth. Waldorf style dolls typically have a neutral expression so the child can add the feelings that the doll is needing to fulfill. As a child holds and plays with a Moonchild doll, the wool stuffing holds the child's body heat.  Besides being great for educational and creative play, these toys are safe for your child and good for the environment.  This gorgeous doll will be a wonderful addition to your child's life that can be passed down through the generations.

All you have to do is leave a comment telling us what you think is so special about this doll.

These fabrics are then expertly sewn by seamstresses employed through a non-profit organization that trains under-privileged Indian women in the art of sewing and needlework.

Chakra will be opening up pre-ordering for fall on their website from today...Summer is still available, too, but Small readers are getting first shot at fall pre-orders! I just ordered Chakra dresses to stock in my shop and they really are beautiful!

Imagine Childhood - shadow painting project and give-away

 We love the philosophy behind Imagine Childhood. They believe that children should experience the world and that direct interaction with nature is the best way to learn. In their blog and store they offer stories, activities, and innovative products that encourage exploration, creativity, and open-ended, unstructured play.
Recently co-founder Sarah Olmstead offered a Smaller readers the chance to win a gift from her shop and also sent us this great idea for making art from shadows. 

Shadow art: Tracing the outlines of the shadows can be a good opportunity to compare the shapes of the different trees, and to talk about why they grow the way they do. While watching the shadows slowly drift away from the drawings can open up a space for great discussions about sunsets and sundials.

The inspiration for this project came early one morning when some particularly beautiful shadows of trees were splashed onto our walls.

Later that afternoon, we went outside with a few friends and traced them so we could make some simple, fun paintings.
If you keep the pallet basic (two colors per painting works wonderfully) the pictures will always turn out great no matter how experienced the little artist is!
For a less permanent but equally fun activity, grab some sidewalk chalk and trace interesting shadows on the pavement.
