Did You Love Paper Dolls?

When I was growing up, we were very poor. We took the Aldens catalog and made our own paper dolls and then used the catalog and made them clothes. We had such fun doing this. I did an article a few months ago on paper dolls and added a couple links to some great paper doll sites also. I think girls are missing out on some creative fun when they are deprived of paper dolls. Kids need to learn to take their imagination and have fun and grow with it. That is how they learn. I dont think kids have enough creative interactions in todays society. They spend more time on the internet and in front of a TV than anything else.

hi i loved them and used to make my own and cut out clothes pictures from magazines to dress them. any ways i really responded to ask you about your treasure troopers check pic. i am supposedly getting mine in the mail. Amonth ago my first check was supposedly mailed not here yet and now got a email that this month's is on the way will they get here has it been too long i am worried i wasted all of those hours (i have dial up so slow) did yours take a month to get there after being notified it was mailed from them?

i do! i mean, i did when i was a kid. my niece is too young to play with paper dolls yet, considering the clutter and all that. but thanks for the link.

I remember having paper dolls, and they hours of fun we had playing with them, I can't wait to check out the site too. My sister had just recently found some paper dolls somewhere, and was so excited to give them to her daughters. It was kind of sad though, even though they're 3 and 5, they looked at them like, what are these. I don't think they ever picked them up. Maybe one day she can teach them to appreciate the simple toys of our past. Thanks for the post and for the link.

Hey this is soo cuteeeeee .. thanks !!

Have you seen those paper dolls that are magnets? The dolls are made of a very hard board and the clothes have magnetic strips on the back of them! The are awesome. My daughter and I play with them.

I used to love playing with paper dolls! Everytime I would visit my grandma's house, I would get to play with a huge selection of two generations worth of paper dolls.
