peg dolls
Simple painted toys
Peg dolls are simple wooden dolls made from clothespins or cylindrical wooden pegs, with minimal features painted or carved on.
They're among the oldest and simplest doll forms, traditionally handmade as children's toys or craft projects.
The basic shape—a rounded head atop a tapered body—invites decoration: She painted faces on the peg dolls and dressed them in fabric scraps.
