On Thursday I printed out some Caillu paper dolls from PBS' website. It's a kids' show on PSB about a four year old boy. All the kids, from Maree' on down, have loved it.
Timothy really liked the craft and colored his right away and played with them. Justin wasn't as into it, he colored Caillu but not Rosie (the sister) and didn't cut his out or really play with it. He did however draw dinosaurs on the back of the papers.
Justin's doll has the blue legs, Timothy's are more....colorful.

jonathan likes caillu too...i think its a great show for kids...very relatable and i got the idea to call jonathan's preschool, "playschool," from it.
It seems to bring back paper dolls, I see. I loved paper dolls when I was a little kid. So much imagination with dressing and playing with them.
If you want to have fun with them now, you can look up free printables, or free paper dolls online and you can find all kinds of paper dolls and their clothes! Sue you could do it and color and wrap them for the kids as an extra cheap christmas present. Believe it or not, it's kind of fun and relaxing to cut them out.
When I was a kid I used to make my own, and then sometimes draw background scenes for the dolls. Then I got the idea from a book to use a woman's magazine. You find pages with furniture and cut a slit in it for the paper doll to slide in. Then it's like they're sitting on the furniture or lying in the bed. Or a page with a kitchen can become the doll's kitchen. You get the idea.
