Playing with a doll is all about imagination. Here are twenty creative craft projects to make play situations a lot more fun!

Reviews

Booklist

“Ross, the author of more than 40 craft books, presents 20 projects with clear directions for ‘what you need’(simple household items from paper clips, cardboard, and yarn to sand and crayons) and ‘what you do.’ Garvin’s simple line-and-watercolor illustrations show the materials and the process, step by step. Some projects are miniature versions of what kids can make for themselves (sock puppets, a scrapbook, handprints on plaster, etc.). Others are especially for dolls, including doll jewelry and a doll closet made from a cardboard box. The blend of make-believe and practical advice is a winning combination in a craft book.”

The Horn Book Magazine

“Young doll owners will be pleased with this portfolio of instructions to make accessories and very simple no-sew doll clothes. The twenty projects (adaptable for any size doll) include jewelry, a bathing suit made from a sock, and clothes hangers. . .”
