This doll is very soft and plump. It feels heavier than a regular wool-stuffed doll, so it feels more real when hugging and carrying by your child (and you)! It is handmade in Northern California and exclusively offered at A Toy Garden.
The first time I was introduced to A Toy Garden was meeting Sonya Bingaman (owner) at a homeschooling conference offered by Rahima Baldwin Dancy’s Waldorf in the Home. Then, my daughter was only six years old and I remember purchasing a King Winter for our nature table, which we still bring out every Christmas. I noticed many of the toys she offers are U.S. made and exclusive. After that I purchased items online, and absolutely love the moving flag logo next to the U.S. made items. It makes me feel I’m doing something good, shopping as local as possible! When talking to other moms, I found out at least two of my friends also shop from her, and their biggest reason was the personal service she gives on the phone. I highly encourage you to visit the website and take a look at their new arrivals and everything else.

Those dolls are beautiful to looks at, soft to touch and inviting to care for.
Precious! I would love to have one for my baby boy as his first doll.
Thank you for the opportunity!

One of these would be a perfect gift for my new grandbaby!
These are absolutely beautiful dolls and I know my children would love one to come to our home.
I just love these sweet dolls! They are so wonderful for little kids to cuddle with at night.
What a beautiful baby to help a child learn to care and share.
So sweet! This would be the perfect way to celebrate my October baby’s 1st birthday!
Today is my daughter’s 5th birthday, and she has always wanted one of these dolls! I’ve always thought I would like to make her one, but frankly I’m running out of time!
I love, love, love your dolls and would love to give one to my grand daughter!! They look fun to make too!
Hoping to make dolls with my grade 3/4 class to send to our little K buddies. These would be a great choice!
A “Sweet Pea” would surely guarantee a night of sweet dreams. I’ll never forget how much my first daughter cherished hers. Perfect doll for my new grandchild.
This dolls are absolutely adorable. I will love to win one.

Sweet little dollies!
So sweet. My little one needs a snuggle doll. Just oerfect. Thanks for the chance.
I love this doll-my little girl is having a birthday this week and this doll would make a wonderful present!
These dolls are so precious. Would love to have one for each of my grand babies! Beautiful work!
What a lovely doll. I know a certain granddaughter that would love this for Christmas or perhaps her 2nd birthday! Yea!
They are all such beautiful dolls and I know that the hands, the heart and the souls of whom ever made each one put their all into creating them.
I made a Waldorf Doll many years ago, for my daughter, but that is for her to treasure. I have a young niece, named Sophie, and if she were the lucky one, she would snuggle her dolly for years to come.
I do hope that they all find good homes
These dolls are beautiful! I would love to give my littlest one of these

This doll reminds me of the first doll my now 31 year old daughter received from her grandparents while she was still in the womb! That is how excited my parents were to be first time grandparents!

What a sweet little armful. I’ve been looking for something just like this for my little boy. Going to bookmark their page right now!
Your dolls and other products are first rate. Frequently I ordered toys for my old kindergarten classroom from you. Now I am slowly gathering items for my new kindergarten classroom (to open next fall) … rocking chair, sheepskin, blocks, etc but I have not even gotten the first doll yet! Once of these Sweet Peas would be a lovely beginning for the children. Thank you for the opportunity.
If a doll might make one wish to be a child again, SweetPea Doll might just be the one! Adorable!
I love the name “A Toy Garden” ! Thanks for the chance to win this sweet doll.
How sweet, Melkorka in her 20st month would one like those!
