Fairy Flower Dolls


The girls began crafting fairy flower dolls this morning using tissue paper and pipe cleaners after a brief how-to by Mrs. DeLorbe. Sparkly sand was added to depict the hair on the dolls.

An important part of this project included careful fan-folding of thin tissue paper.


A completed fairy flower doll!


Ms. Pinkard popped by for a special visit before snack to share a set of her own paper dolls with the girls. All of the dolls had intricately detailed clothing, some of which Ms. Pinkard even painted herself! What fun!



During the second half of the morning, the girls created doll backgrounds using a cut section from a trifold white board. They illustrated their white boards using magazine clippings and their own drawings to depict rooms found inside of a house (such as a bedroom, office, or kitchen). Some even created outdoor rooms (complete with a backyard pool!) for their dolls to play in!

Excellent job, girls!
