My Dolly's Clothes Line Set, 1958-1962
Add to SetSummary
Child's play has often involved learning grownup roles. In an era when most girls anticipated futures as housewives, toys for girls included miniatures of mother's work. Appropriately sized for little hands and doll clothing, colorful toy clothespins like these gave little girls a chance to practice hanging out the laundry.
