Cut out a small human figure from hard cardboard. Glue on a suitable face. It could be a model's face cut out from a magazine, a photo of your child, or someone from an advertising brochure. Then make clothing samples for the doll from the same thick paper, a kind of pattern for a shirt, trousers, dress and skirt. Take colored paper or any other material you have on hand; let the child trace the patterns on colored paper and cut them out; this way, the paper doll will have a rich wardrobe.

Stock up on a few pieces of wool thread, a large crochet hook (instead of an eyelet needle), and a few sheets of plastic mesh. Let the child try to make a decoration for the wall or for his belt, or anything else suggested by his imagination.
