How to make doll camp foods...

Learn how to make the doll coleslaw and printable chocolate candy bars

        Here you can see our American Girl doll camp foods: hot dogs with buns, a Mustard girl bottle, corn on the cob, coleslaw,  Jet-Puffed marshmallows with chocolate bars for S'mores, hot dogs and Polish sausages in packages, and hot dogs cooked. 

Three basic steps for making doll
 sized hot dogs.

Craft Supplies for Doll Hot Dogs and Buns:

  • Sculpey oven bake clay
  • acrylic paints: red, brown, tan, white
  • yellow and or red puff paints for mustard and ketchup
  • Mod Podge
  • tiny paint brush
Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Roll out two different sizes of "snake" shapes for the hot dog and the bun. The bun will be the larger of the two snakes, the hot dog the smaller. 
  2. Cut these into lengths. The hot dog should measure 1 1/2'' and the bun should be approx. 2 inches long.
  3. Round the tips of both the hot dog and bun by lightly tapping these end down on a smooth surface. Shape gently as needed.
  4. Using a sharp edge, carefully cut down the center of the bun lengthwise. Do not make this cut deep enough to disconnect the sides of the hot dog bun; just make it open enough to slip the hot dog shape inside the bun.
  5. Now gently press the shapes together without misshaping your hot dog and bun.
  6. Bake at 275 degree oven for ten to fifteen minutes.
  7. Paint when cool. Apply the hot dog colors first with a very tiny brush. Let dry.
  8. Paint the outside bun using modeled brown acrylic paint colors until you are satisfied with the color of your faux hot dog buns.
  9. Squeeze out mustard or ketchup using puff paints. Let dry.
  10. Give your camp hot dogs a nice coat of Mod Podge to seal the paints.

More Camp Foods for Dolls:

These corn on the cobs are shaped by pressing them into a small mold.
I then baked the clay forms and painted them with non-toxic acrylic paints.
I used a yellow puff paint to highlight tiny cornels of corn.
Cobs measure 2 1/4" across.
