Color this little paper doll dressed as her village's "May Queen." She also carries a basket and wears a floral lei in her hair!

This 'Punch and Judy Theater' is quite old but still interesting to use when teaching children about the history of theater and puppets. Read also Shadow Puppets, Marionettes and Punch here.

This vintage paper doll depicts an Arabian child dressed as would have been 100 years ago... She wears a blue dress over a plaid skirt. Her veil was dull red and her jar brown. But you may color her clothes they way you would like. She requires brads to assemble her parts.
"Here is Tom, the Piper's son, with a bit of string you can make him run. And unless he runs away too soon, he'll dance if you play a little tune." |
On the left, you can see that I cut out Barbie and Ken figures from an old coloring book. Your paper dolls can be ones that you draw yourself, figures that you cut out from old magazines, or they can even be made from coloring pages of dolls, just like the ones I've posted under my doll coloring book index. I've even cut out Barbie, her pet poodle and her sports car to include in this project; you can make a paper stands for all kinds of figures, cars, houses etc... when putting together your own paper doll collection. |
Now you can see that Ken can stand on his own. This simple kind of doll stand is perfect for small paper dolls. |
Little girls and boys would both love to cut stands for all kinds of cars, trucks, trains and planes! |
