Cabbage Patch Kids

Cabbage Patch Kids are dolls that were really popular in the 1980s. They are called "Cabbage Patch" because they are supposed to come from a place called the Cabbage Patch where cabbages grow and turn into babies.

The dolls look like cute little babies with chubby cheeks and colorful clothes. Each one is different and has its own name and birth certificate that tells you when it was "born."

People really liked these dolls and they became really popular. Lots of kids had them and they would play with them and take care of them like they were real babies. Even grown-ups liked them too!

Eventually, people started making lots of different kinds of Cabbage Patch Kids with different clothes and accessories. Even today, you can still buy them and they are still really popular with kids and adults.
