What are the benefits of having a rag doll?

A rag doll is, among other things, a comfort object. It is soft to the touch and light in weight, like a mother’s caress. It is easy for small fingers to grasp and hold, and it is emotionally soothing to carry or to cuddle with at bedtime.

Beyond this self evident observation, dolls, which are symbols or likenesses of human persons, as such lend themselves to becoming alter egos for the young children who play with them. The simplicity of a rag doll, with a stylized, traditionally simple flat face, provides a blank canvas for this process of creative play, leaving the details of the play narrative to the child’s imagination rather than defining it.
