Paper Dolls

My 7 year old daughter really enjoys playing with paper dolls and we discovered that there are a lot of them that are free to print available on the Internet. Here are a few that we have found.

It works best if you print them out on card stock but paper works too. A lot of these come in color but as we don't have a color printer we just print them out in black and white and then Mara gets to color them. Coloring, cutting out and then playing with them can keep a child busy for quite a while. It is a nice project for times when they need to be quiet.
