What is an "Amish doll"?
An Amish doll is a handcrafted toy doll typically made by Amish communities, reflecting their simple, modest lifestyle. These dolls are often made from fabric, wood, or corn husks and are dressed in traditional Amish clothing, such as plain dresses, bonnets, and aprons. Amish dolls usually have minimal facial features or none at all, in keeping with the Amish belief in simplicity and humility. They are commonly used as children's toys in Amish families, promoting imaginative play without the emphasis on modern, flashy toys.
