Kids Craft Corner – Creating Ella & Rachel

During our trip to New Orleans, Stella spent a lot of time creating and making projects with Lorrie.  I mentioned before, I think, that Lorrie is a big time yard saler and the things that she finds are amazing!  One of her great finds was a box of Melvin dolls.  These were dolls used in the 1960’s to teach kids body parts – all I have to say is I want a box of Melvin dolls!!!  Lorrie gave me a couple so that I can create my own.

Melvin Doll Creations

Items Needed

 

Melvin dolls or dolls made from cardboard (see Melvin picture)
Markers, fabric, paper scraps, yarn

1. Take the Melvin doll apart.

2. Color, paint, glue fabric or paper onto the different body parts.

 

 

 

 

3. Add some hair with yarn.

Go and play with your moveable, paper doll!!
