Topsy Turvy Dolls

The most AMAZING Topsy Turvy Dolls in Australia!

Our Topsy Turvy dolls are show-stoppers. As visitors to our village store find them on the shelf, you can hear the gasps and excitement. Each one is hand-made in a fairtrade, village co-op in Sri-Lanka. We get to select the fabrics and fine details of our dolls, and they're all slightly unique to Geppetto's Workshop.

If you'd like to buy a Topsy Turvy doll online, we have the best range in Australia. We love our range of dolls, and each represents a different story or play opportunity. Some are more that topsy turvy! Some even have four different faces and removable pieces adding to the fun and surprise.

Often called reversible dolls, or upside-down dolls, topsy turvy dolls originated in the 19th century, with roots in African American culture. They became popular during the Victorian era and have remained a popular toy ... just hard to get now! Most dolls have two faces, often one representing a "good" character and the other a "mischievous" one, but modern designs now include up to 6 characters with removable pieces.
