Small figures in the form of human beings used as children's playthings have existed for centuries. In the early 17th century, they were called: babe, baby, or poppet (from the french word for doll, poupée). The use of the term "doll" in the sense of a child's toy was first recorded in 1700.
Pilgrim children probably played with poppets like these — homemade from scraps of linen and wool cloth.
