clothespin doll

Laundry-clip toy

A clothespin doll is a simple folk toy made by decorating a wooden clothespin to resemble a human figure.

The clothespin's shape—a rounded top and split bottom—suggests a head and legs.

Children and crafters add fabric scraps, yarn, and paint to create faces and clothing: We made clothespin dolls at summer camp.
