Homemade Christmas: Bookmarks: japanese dolls
Nov. 20, 2008 • 7:21 PM
Here is something fun we made this week. My oldest daughter especially likes making things with paper. I recently found this craft in a library book and showed her. She liked it so we decided to make some.
They were fairy easy to make. My oldest daughter, "Panda" made the dresses using origami paper. My next oldest, "Princess" made the heads and I just put on the simple faces and assembled the heads to the dresses.
We are doing a homeschoolers craft show soon and might include a basket of these unique bookmarks. i thought they'd be cute to put with a book as a gift. They would definately be great for a lapbook on Japan.
My daughter has this book. This is what started her love of paper crafts. It is a really neat book- a great Christmas gift! Everything is made with Post-it notes of different sizes. It is fun and encourages a child's creativity!
Here is a sample from inside the book with my daughter's puppy creation!
Have a great week!

Great idea. I love it!! You have to tell me when your christmas show is. I missed it last year hoping it doesnt fall on anything this year. I think my son would love the post it book. I'll have to look for that one. He has an orgami book that he carries around all the time but its a bit to difficult for him.

Oh, those are super cute. I am going to have to look for that book. I could just play with paper all day long if I could. :)
I voted for you!!
I hope your little girl's toe is doing better. She is such a little sweetie and it was sad to see her poor toe. I had a little cyst taken off my forehead Tues. and I have a couple of stitches, so I thought she has pokey things on her toes and I have pokey things on head. What a pair.
Have a great weekend.
