Dress-up Drawings

This morning we were drawing together and I thought it would be fun to get some material scraps and cut them into clothes so we could dress-up the drawings.  Similar to the vintage buttons game we did before.


I like the kids' drawings better than mine.

    Great idea, I love the drawings. We used to do something of the sort when I was little, but with construction paper.

    Wow -- amazing blog. I am just in awe of the creativity. I don't suppose you sell the wooden dolls or climbing gorilla or little wooden animals to go in Easter eggs? My littles would just love them.

    Excellent idea - I totally stole your vintage buttons game and I will now try this one out too.

    (By the way, the lady in beige looks like me, or at least, she has my "shape"!)

    Now I want to dress-up too. Like the one with the scarf best, oh and also the one with the teeny tiny hat and love the way the children are holding the pencils - so purposeful and engaged with drawing.

    My kids love doing the dressed up drawings too! It's their favorite past time. Their alternative to fabric is to cut out outfits from magazines and dress their drawings.

    Somehow a french blog helped me find my way here (crazy Internet), but hey, whatever. This rocks, the whole shebang. But THIS one, so far, is pure awesome. I look forward to poking around in wee moments of leisure.

    This is amazing....your blog is fantastic I love it!

    I had a doll house growing up and my brother was always fascinated by it. My dad build him a doll house "farm" that he loved....it the living area on one side and a stable for horses on the other side. All his little dude friends LOVED this thing too....who says doll houses are just for girls??

    Thanks for the inspiration. I'll be trying some of your ideas out with my little guy Wolfie for sure!

    Hello, I loved your work and I remained in the lead so that yesterday we thought, with my child, of being inspired to create his birthday gifts. I hope you do not mind ... anyway I left your link! If you like to see is our interpretation, this is the link: http://bimbumbeta.blogspot.com/2010/06/8-anni-festeggiate-con-noi.html
