It 'possible that originated the Half Penny Doll, if a mother with spinning and weaving and the need for a distraction of a demanding child, took a few bits of wool and formed him into a small toy. The dolls were very popular among young people, so only make enough for the children themselves, just to have fun for hours in the process of creating and dressing dolls.
