What is a clothspin doll?

This month’s Curiosity Kit is available now

What is a clothespin doll? Let’s travel back to the 1700s and 1800s! Back then, there were zero video games, zero iPads, and definitely no plastic toys. Store-bought toys were super rare, so kids had to be creative. By grabbing ordinary wooden clothespins, scraps of colorful fabric, and leftover yarn, they brought their very own custom best friends to life.

Now, it is your turn to make history! Grab your FREE kit at the museum, take it home, and unleash your imagination to design a one-of-a-kind historic masterpiece.
