  I design and create wooden dolls and unique 3-D family portraits which are also one of a kind gift ideas. Each peg doll is lovingly created handcrafted and painted. And every detail is done with the sole purpose of putting a smile on your people’s faces.Peg dolls can be designed as family portraits as well as natural and healthy toys for children.Peg dolls are a traditional toy dating back to the Victorian era that can still be enjoyed by today's children as an alternative to modern plastic toys. The dolls were usually made from clothes pegs/pins as that was something that many people had in their homes and toys were an expensive luxury that many people could not afford at that time. The wooden dolls make wonderfully durable toys for young children, but they can also be used as cake toppers, fridge magnets, jewelry, ornaments or just for a fun piece of decor. Show less
