What is a Rag Doll and How Has it Evolved Over Time?

A rag doll is a children’s toy. It is a cloth figure, a doll traditionally home-made from spare scraps of material. They are one of the oldest children’s toys in existence. Today many rag dolls are commercially produced to simulate the features of the original home-made dolls, with soft cloth bodies and patchwork clothing. Going back centuries, rag dolls were created by tying a length of cloth around a wooden board, and then adding fabric scraps for hair and clothing. These toys became popular among the poor, who would make them from old clothes and raveled socks. Rag dolls are typically made by hand with simple stitches in cotton or wool yarns. Rag dolls can have various shapes based on their intended use or maker’s preference.
