Making Paper Dolls Activity for Children

Julia Donalson’s book ‘The Paper Dolls’ has quickly become one of my daughters favourite bedtime story books. For those of you who haven’t read it, it is a beautiful story about a little girl who makes some paper dolls with her mum. The paper dolls go on an adventure and when they get broken, they go into the little girl’s memory.

I was keen to find an activity that I could do around the book...

A Squash and a Squeeze tuff tray activity for children

I love Julia Donaldson and the A squash and a Squeeze book is always a favourite amongst my kids. So, inspired by her fabulous books I have created this fun and educational tray activity, which includes some toy animals and a dolls house to represent the characters in the book. It's a great activity to encourage children to be creative.
