Old Fashion Fun

Last week I had a little workshop at my local branch of the library, We made simple clothespin dolls and gave them painted apple heads. The class was originally to be ages 12 and up, but as these things often go, the class ended up consisting of 7 children between the ages of 8 and 13. It was a little chaotic but fun. These were my samples:




It's a little hard to see, but the dolls have hinged legs and arms.


Each doll uses 3 clothes pins, either the flat or round type (not the spring hinges ones!). I chose to paint the dolls like apple fairies, but two off the kids painted theirs to be pumpkin heads which looked really cool. I need to get a camera for these classes!
