PIF Paper Doll Craft Project

Description

Please do not purchase. Just print, have fun and enjoy :) I would love to know how much you love this activity. Let me know how well it turns out!

CRAFT MATERIALS:
Poster board
Construction paper
Colored markers or pencils
Tape

Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. From a piece of poster board, cut out a simple doll's body that measures about 7 inches tall (it should resemble a large, roundheaded clothespin). Trim below the head to create sloping shoulders.

2. For the kimono, cut out a 6-inch square from colored construction paper. From a sheet of black paper, cut out a 6- by 3/8-inch sash and a wig. In the center of the wig, cut a horizontal opening that's wide enough to accommodate the doll's head.

3. With colored markers or pencils, draw on a face. Next, fold down the top of the kimono 3/8 inch from the edge to form a collar. Now, color the collar.

4. Lay the kimono flat so that the folded collar is facedown. Fit the wig onto the doll's head and then center the body on top of the kimono. Fold a top corner of the kimono down over the doll's shoulder.

5. Working on the same side of the kimono, fold the paper vertically to cover the doll's body. Use the same method to fold the opposite side of the kimono. Finally, wrap the sash around the doll from front to back and tape together the ends.
