When working with children 2.5 to 4 years old, its best to do things in steps and never worry about staying in the lines. I began this Lil' Studio with a book entitled, Lucille by Arnold Lobel. Lucille is a horse that's tired of being dull and dirty. The farmer's wife takes an interest in Lucille and takes her shopping. She buys Lucille a hat, shoes and dress. Lucille soon learns that she rather be herself.
In this paper doll workshop we began with coloring the clothes for their paper doll.
After coloring, parents cut out clothing while I hand out a 8 x 10 piece of white cardstock to create a backdrop for the paper doll. They are instructed to pick a green for grass and we create short vertical lines then we pick a blue to make swirly round lines and then they were instructed to make a home for their paper doll.
