My daughter Trixie loves to take care of her special rag dolls. Her favorite is her Wee Wonderfuls doll my mom got her for Christmas a couple of years ago from The Land of Nod. She gets the whole bed to herself.
They are tall, soft, and lovable. The girls pictured below are Clara and Agnes and are available at The Land of Nod.
Sometimes Trixie lets Harper play with her special girls, which is lovely when it happens. He usually gets pretty frustrated that he doesn’t have his own doll. It doesn’t matter how many rag dolls we find him in our stash, Harper wants a boy doll. I decided that I would find him a boy doll for Christmas that is equally as fabulous as the Wee Wonderfuls are.
I spent hours searching online whenever I had a spare moment during the pre-holiday madness, and finally, after days of looking, I found it!
In 2010, when Trixie was in Pre-Kindergarten, I wanted to find something easy for her to do that was creative and fun for both of us. I had her paint on watercolor paper and fill the whole page. After the page dried I cut out large heart shapes. Then we attached the hearts to pieces of patterned scrap paper I had lying around, added some drips of Elmer’s glue, and dusted the glue with glitter. The glitter kept flaking off, so I made simple envelopes out of tracing paper and closed them up with a sticker. They were so cute!
