Traditional Amish Church Doll

During the Revolutionary War, church dolls were made for little girls to carry and bring with them into church services. Dolls were given to young girls to keep them occupied during what could be day-long church services. The dolls were made entirely of cloth so that when they were dropped in church they would not make noise and disturb the service. Church dolls were revived during the Civil War as remembrances for those who went to fight and given as keepsakes to soldiers representing the loved ones they’d left behind.

Handmade Amish Doll

Traditional Amish dolls differ a bit from typical dolls. The Amish follow scripture that indicates they should not make graven images, therefore, their dolls are faceless. The clothes of Amish dolls are created to be like the clothes Amish women wear – typically neutral and monochromatic. This reflects the humble nature of the Amish. All dolls bring out the maturity in children and draw the child out in adults.
