Amish children typically play with simple, handmade toys crafted from wood, hand-sewn or other natural materials. 

Amish dolls typically do not have facial features. This design choice reflects the Amish cultural values of simplicity and humility.

Amish dolls are often made with plain, featureless faces as part of the community’s emphasis on avoiding personal adornment and focusing on inner qualities rather than outward appearances.

These dolls are commonly crafted from simple materials, such as fabric and yarn, and their clothing is often made to resemble traditional Amish attire. It’s a reflection of the cultural and religious principles that guide Amish life, including a commitment to simplicity and a desire to avoid vanity and individualism.

Besides, Amish families might create their own board games or outdoor games, often involving physical activity and social interaction.
