I wrote about wooden clothes pegs/pins and how they needed to be boiled to make them last longer. They are often called ‘dolly pegs’ as they have a rounded ‘head’ and appear to have two legs. The pegs are often dressed up as people and you can see some in the photo.
My friend sent me this photo of peg people that some school-children created to use with stories from the Bible. Some have head-dresses but others still need their faces painted on.

@Tampa_girl7 @DaddyEvil Simple but effective, aren't they?

I can handle these. They are not creepy like puppets and dolls.

@JudyEv Yes, I feel like they are holding their breaths, staring at me, and waiting for me to leave the room so they can move around. I've always had that feeling.

Whatever the kids did with them, they couldn't really go wrong, could they?

Those school age children did a great job making those pep people for Bible study.
I am old enough to remember using clothespins for hanging clothes outside to dry.
