Where did Trolls come from?

Troll dolls have come a long way to become popular. They originated in Denmark in the 1950s. The Danish company was started by a man named Thomas Dam after his wife encouraged him to try selling the wooden dolls he had been carving for his children. He called them Good Luck Trolls and they quickly became popular. He sold the wood dolls door-to-door for a while, but in 1956 the demand became too high after his dolls were used in display windows.


Too many people wanted Trolls so he had to open a factory and switch to a rubber body stuffed with wood shavings to keep up with demand.


Why Trolls?

Trolls may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of cute and lovable creatures for kids, but in Scandinavia, trolls are considered to be lucky. The reason they are lucky is because Scandinavians once believed that nothing bad can happen to you when you are laughing. Dam had a sense of humor about his creations, once calling them "so ugly" that "when you looked at them you couldn't help but laugh, and when you laugh, luck follows you."
