The History of Cabbage Patch Dolls
Cabbage Patch Kids are a
line of soft sculptured dolls created by Xavier Roberts (1955-) and
registered in the United States copyright office in 1978. As a 21-year-old art
student, Xavier utilized the quilting skills he learned from his mother and the
historic technique of "needle molding" to develop his own line of
fabric sculptures. He called these hand-stitched, one-of-a-kind, soft fabric
sculptures "The Little People". His Little People were not offered
for sale, but were "adopted" each with their own individual name and
birth certificate. The Little People were first offered at arts and crafts
shows, then later at Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia. The
doll brand went on to become one of the most popular toy fads of the
1980s and one of the longest-running doll franchises in America. The name change to
Cabbage Patch Kids was made in 1982 when Xavier's company, Original Appalachian
Artworks, began to license a smaller version of the handmade creations to a toy
manufacturer named Coleco. An abbreviated version of the discovery legend was
reproduced on every Cabbage Patch Kids product from 1983 onward. Parker
Brothers published the original story retitled "Xavier's Fantastic Discovery" in 1984 and two Albums
that went Gold. The characters appeared in many other Cabbage Patch
merchandising products ranging from animated cartoons to board games.
Xavier Roberts was a
ten-year-old boy who discovered the Cabbage Patch Kids by following a Bunny Bee
behind a waterfall into a magical Cabbage Patch, where he found the Cabbage
Patch babies being born. To help them find good homes he built BabyLand General
in Cleveland, Georgia where the Cabbage Patch Kids could live and play until
they were adopted.
