Magnetic Paper Dolls....

I just love these and really want to share them with you.

I have used them for most of my children and am so glad to be able to use
them for Hope and not only can you make them, you can now buy them.

How to make them....?

Go
to a store and either buy one of those metal oven mats, a cookie sheet,
or one of those cheap lap trays, you know the kind that you can put
over your lap and eat at when you are to sick to come to the table.

Buy
a paper doll book and punch out the dolls and clothes. Laminate the
clothing and attach the dolls to the metal item. Then laminate it or
use clear contact on it to make it spill proof or at least somewhat.
Make sure you cut off all the "white tabs" that are on the clothes
before you laminate it and then add a piece of magnetic tape on the
back of the clothes. Now you have a sweet way to for a child to dress
and undress their doll and even with a little thicker fingers they can
do this with out having to put those silly tabs on the doll to hold the
clothes on. Plus, usually most paper doll books come with more than one
doll and you can use one on the metal item and one on the fridge. You
have to tape or attach it with something that has no thickness so the
clothes can attach to it. But makes for a fun time.

They also have the ones that are wooden with the magnets in it. I am not sure if these are Melissa and Doug puzzles but I think so. I love these also and now they have "paper doll" puzzles.

Here are some pictures of them...
