Le Toy Van Dubois Wooden Family Dolls: Set of 5 wooden peg dolls who make up a family Plastic-free, eco-friendly and ethically made FSC-certified sustainable wood with smooth, natural finish Ideal for Le Toy Van dollhouses and small-world play Average doll size: 3.5cm L x 9cm H x 3.5cm W Benefits of Featureless Wooden Peg Dolls When dolls dont have fixed facial expressions, children can project any emotion onto themhappy, sad, surprised, angrydepending on the story theyre creating. This flexibility supports more open-ended, creative play because the dolls can play multiple roles or moods. By assigning feelings to the dolls, children practise recognising, expressing, and managing emotions. It helps them explore empathy and social interactions in a safe way. Avoids limiting play narratives: A smiling face might make it harder for a child to use the doll in a sad or serious scenario. Featureless dolls allow the story to go wherever the childs imagination leads without visual conflict. This is inspired by Montessori and Waldorf education philosophies, which prefer simplified toys to leave room for imagination.
