Vicky, from North Wales, shows us how to make paper dolls with the kids.

How did you make the paper dolls?

  1. Get paper and fold it (concertina style)
  2. Draw an outline of a person – make sure that you connect the arms at the edge of the paper as this will create the chain
  3. Cut around the person
  4. Unfold the paper
  5. Colour in the people
  6. Repeat as much as you want
  7. You can sellotape all of the paper dolls together
  8. Hang the artwork up somewhere at home

All my kids love decorating the dolls, doing funny expressions, and cool outfits. 

A little bit about yourself…

My name is Vicky and I created “Housebound with Kids”. I am married to Gareth. We have 4 children aged 8 (boy), 6 (girl), 4 (boy) & 2 (girl). 

Any tips for others in the same situation?

Be kind to yourself. Know that however your day is going, you are doing a good job (even if it doesn’t always feel that way) xxxx

I love the Housebound with Kids community. So many fantastic craft and activity ideas. It’s a space where we can connect, laugh, and support each other.
