I maybe sort of purchased the first thing for my future children today? I was looking at Grimm's peg dolls the other day on Amazon because they're so cute, they remind me of these little wooden peg dolls I played with at my grandparents house as a child and it just gave me the fuzzies. Then in the recommended products thing, I saw these: https://www.amazon.com/Koalabu-Natural-Unfinished-Wooden-Bodies/dp/B0189Y8W44/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=peg+dolls+unfinished&qid=1562985142&s=gateway&sprefix=peg+do&sr=8-5 and thought they were boring until I saw how people had painted them. I haven't stopped thinking about how I wanted to do that so today I bought them. I'm going to paint them and then save them for my future kids. And maybe one day my kids will think back on them and have the fuzzies, too.

You can draw or paint em up and everything.
