Aubry loves to cut and paste. She also loves fabric and dolls. Making paper-doll chains together seemed the perfect thing to do.
Doing this craft with Aubry opened my eyes to what a perfectionist my girl is (I wonder where she gets it from!!!). The paper dolls with the shirts and skirts are all painstakingly made by her. She spent a lot of time tracing and cutting, but I am glad to say that she didn't get frustrated in her pursuit of the perfect garment for her paper-doll, something that I can't always say for myself.
***Templates can be found here.
Aubry's favorite is this little gingerbread man. He is quite a lucky guy to be surrounded by so many well-dressed and lovely ladies, don't you think?
***Thanks to Heather for this idea!
***Randi is a wife to one and a mother to five. You can read more about her adventures on her blog, I have to say.
Randi, I love this! This would be perfect for my younger ones to do. I'm sure I'd have to do all of the outfit-cutting at this point, but they love fabric as much as I do and would surely think this craft is the best ever! Great idea :)

Those are so cute! I remember cutting those as a kid, but I never got creative enough to use fabric scraps to dress them! What a fun way to spend an afternoon!

Awesome!
I make those for The Baby all the time, although she decorates them with scribbles.

Those are so cute! I love this blog idea and will be checking back often. What a neat idea ... drawing moms to their daughters through crafty time. I love it!

Aubry is very talented and very creative. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, there!
I love the picture of her serious little face as she's cutting the fabric. She is a cutie pie! :-)

Ooohhh, nice! I'll be making some of these paper doll chains and I'll be sticking 1"x1" I.D. photos on the faces for fun!

Those are so cute! I hope that Girlkiddo will want to do it--I would love to see what she comes up with.

LOL about the gingerbread man!
And I never thought of using real fabric with paper dolls-- GREAT idea! I will definitely have to do that the next time I have my friend's girls over. They love all things crafty... which is more than I can say for my boys.

Interesting interview. I enjoyed learning about Rhobin and her writing. CREWKIN sounds like it will be an interesting book to read. I enjoyed reading the book review.
