Nesting Dolls


Yesterday Mrs. DeLorbe and I read a story about Russian nesting dolls in preparation for our busy day at camp. The girls paid close attention to the tiny details on the dolls, and especially loved the doll's large eyes with long eyelashes!






The girls quickly got to work, using their family photos as inspiration. Cotton swabs and thin-tipped markers were utilized in their designs.


















The completed, dry dolls were on display today!























This girl is part of a family of 6, so she incorporated her dad on one side of the largest doll...
...and her mom on the other side!






Take a closer look.














The girl-

-and her dolls.














This girl painted herself as the second largest doll in the family. Great idea!












Love the colors!










The day ended with sidewalk chalk fun by the gazebo!

Did you notice the above hopscotch board? Can you figure out why it is so small? Why, it's doll-sized, of course!


It's time to get ready for the tea party! See you soon!
