What is a Rag Doll?

A rag doll is a children’s toy or cloth figure traditionally home-made from spare scraps of material. Rag dolls are one of the oldest children’s toys in existence. Many rag dolls today are made to replicate these traditional home-made dolls. They feature as soft cloth bodies and cotton clothing. As with most soft toys, rag dolls were originally made to bring comfort to young children. Historically, a rag doll was also a way of teaching kids how to sew by encouraging them to make dolls clothes for themselves.

What’s the Purpose of a Rag Doll for Children?
