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.

Topsy-Turvy dolls originated in the 19th century, with roots in African-American culture. These reversible dolls had two faces, often one representing a "good" character and the other a "mischievous" one. They became popular during the Victorian era and have remained a popular toy ... just hard to get now!
