Rainbow Made's Dolls

Have you discovered all of the beautiful dolls made by the very clever Melissa of Rainbow Made in Cairns, Australia? Melissa makes a lot of the Spiral Garden hand-crafted stock at home, whilst caring for her children, home and garden in beautiful far north Queensland. Craft is her passion and each item she creates for us is made with love and attention to detail. We currently stock play cloths, gnomes, doll slings and craft packs from Rainbow Made, as well as these amazing dolls.

Steiner dolls encourage imaginative play with their simple features and soft bodies, without expectations of personality or fashion like most mass-marketed dolls. This allows children the freedom to befriend their doll and enjoy them for many years.

The knot doll is our most popular doll and baby toy sold at Spiral Garden. Made from 100% cotton with 100% wool fleece stuffing - they're natural, soft and simple. At only $13.00 they're a bargain too! Available in blue, green, yellow, orange and pink.


Our Seasonal Doll Collection are available individually or as a set. These are great for display purposes, but strong enough to be handled by little ones and used in storytelling and general play. We have loved ours for a couple of years now and they're just great!


The Breastfeeding Mother and Baby dolls are our most unique dolls. Cleverly made with an opening shirt, breasts and baby in sling so little ones can role play breastfeeding with their dolls!



To complement the mother and baby we've just released a very handsome Father Doll with his baby in a sling. Both the Breastfeeding Mother and Slinging Father are either of limited stock or custom made with a slight delay - so if you're thinking of gifting one soon, please order early!

Other custom dolls Spiral Garden offers on behalf of Rainbow Made can be seen here.

Lastly, some new Rainbow Made Multicultural Dolls have arrived recently. In stock are the serene Japanese doll and beautiful African doll. Unique and high quality handmade dolls at a very reasonable price of $67.50 - very limited stock!

Almost Winter!

Here is an excerpt from our newsletter for those who don't subscribe. If you wish to subscribe, there's a box on the main page of the Spiral Garden site, or you can contact me to add you to the list...

Almost-Winter Greetings!

This month we have all art supplies re-stocked, so anyone waiting on Modelling Wax, Block Crayons, Watercolour Paints or any of our other favourite items from Stockmar, Lyra and Mercurius, now is the time to order!

In Books, I've restocked the Golden Beetle Books and Chrissy Butler's lovely titles, but a lot of other books are still unavailable, sorry! I'm happy to put your name down for any titles for the next order though.


We have a number of beautiful items to celebrate the change of season. The Winter Dolls are as popular as ever, a beautiful collectable toy or display item to be used year after year.

Silk playcloths are always one of our top sellers - useful for so many applications. The Winter cloth is hand-dyed in beautiful tones of blue. Also suitable for your seasonal table are the white muslin playcloths, or one of our hand-dyed muslin or cotton cloths. A playcloth is the perfect background to your seasonal display.

Susan Whitehead's Silver Stork book is one of a set of four beautiful books (sold separately or as a set). This handmade-style colourful children's picture book includes Winter stories, songs and many suggested activites, with a practical and creative emphasis on puppetry.

Sarah Laidlaw's stunning Winter cards have been restocked in time for a Solstice message on the 21st June, or for a Winter birthday or other greeting.

Our White or Winter craft packs are great to have on hand for those miserable days stuck indoors. Create your own dolls and gnomes, puppets, little bags, animals or other craft items for play or display.

Remember the Winter article is on our site, one of a series of four seasonal articles from Spiral Garden. They are included on the site to inspire and direct you with bringing a sense of meaning to the year and its natural cycles and rhythms.

You should check our New Products link regularly, as new items come in all the time, and many are handmade and of limited availability.

And don't forget our Specials link - two pages of bargains, some up to 70% off RRP - well below cost!

If there's ever a product you'd like further information on, or something you're trying to track down that I might be able to supply, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Warmest wishes to you and yours!
