Peg Family

My one year old loves looking of photos of people she knows, and she also loves holding little figures and toys in her hands. I thought I'd make some little peg dolls of our family so she can play and hold them. I sewed up little angled dresses for the pegs (so the base became more stable) and laminated some clear photos our faces. I attached the faces with by wrapping some sticky tape around the face and head of the peg.

Waldorf dolls

These are a couple more clumsy attempts at Waldorf Dolls. I used a combination of instructions from my beloved Creative Play for Toddlers book, and Toymaking with children. 

For the hair on the purple doll I followed these instructions from the Crafty Sheep Blog.
