A little while ago I made Boo a paper doll based upon herself...
I drew out some clothes based upon her own wardrobe, some of which I coloured and some of which she coloured.
Can you spot which one she did?!
Today we decided to update her wardrobe as Boo has grown out of all the items we based these pieces on. Everything went a bit pink...
The poor girl needed some shoes...
... and here are the originals they are based upon...
The colouring became a bit cursory as time went on, (Boo not showing any signs of inheriting my love of colouring as yet!), but paper Boo was soon bedecked in Boo's favourite 'Kjitebjorn (polar bear)' t shirt.
When I was little I love love loved paper dolls, so I'm thrilled to share this with my daughter (you could indeed ask, who are these for?). I remember having a very precious box of them and I seem to remember I had some hand-drawn and coloured ones which had belonged to my mum (I will have to check my fact with her here, it's possible this is a fantasy). There are some great vintage ones available on the internet to print out.
What's next I wonder, a whole family of dolls and wardrobes?
