MAGNETIC PAPER DOLLS
This project was submitted by Sandy Miller of Arizona. She made these magnetic dolls for her Granddaughter, who spends hours at a time playing with them on the refrigerator while Sandy is in the kitchen. You can also make this toy portable by using a cookie sheet instead of the refrigerator! Sandy told us about the site for printing out these paper dolls - there are tons of them to choose from.click on www.makingfriends.com/f_Friends.htm for all the paper dolls, clothes and accessories to keep your little ones happy for hours on end!
MATERIALS:
Magnetic inkjet sheets
Paper doll clipart or go to the link above to print out full sheets of paper dolls, clothes, accessories, even animals!
INSTRUCTIONS:
(This is a really simple one, folks!)
1) Design your paper dolls or use the link we have provided above. Print out a test page first to make certain the paper dolls line up on your page correctly.
2) Print the paper dolls out on your printable magnetic inkjet sheets. We used two sheets for the design shown. One for the doll and hairstyles and one for all the clothing and accessories. These came straight from www.makingfriends.com/f_Friends.htm
3) Cut out the paper dolls and clothing with a regular scissors. (You can waterproof them first by spraying with a couple of coats of our Waterslip Decal Finishing/Inkjet Waterproofing Spray to protect them against water damage.)
4) Let the little ones put them on the fridge and dress them in all their outfits, or use a cookie sheet so this toy can be used in any room in the house or even on trips!
LET YOUR CREATIVITY BE YOUR GUIDE!

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca - age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore,"
Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - Age 5
"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine - age 5
"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 8,
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
