Ragdolls are a traditional children's toy and one of the oldest kids toys around! The British Museum is home to a Roman ragdoll from the 1st-5th century AD. Ragdolls are soft dolls or cloth figures that have been handmade with different bits of material.
Ragdolls have historically been used as comfort toys and to teach kids nurturing skills. Mass production of ragdolls started in around 1830, when fabric colour printing was introduced. Today, contemporary ragdolls are produced to have similar features to traditional ragdolls such as soft cloth bodies and patchwork clothing.
