Scorpio115 Member Registered: 10/03/05 Posts: 44 Loc: New York	Used to love to play with these. Cut out dolls and their clothes. Put the tabs around the doll to hold on the dresses. Don't see much of these anymore. Seems the magnet-like ones are more popular. Managed to find a couple of these books to send to my granddaughters.

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	I loved paper dolls too. My favorites were the ones my Mom would make for me...she'd draw the "doll" and I'd design the clothes. Chatty I believe I also had the Veronica & Betty ones! Gosh...I haven't thought of paper dolls in years. Thanks for the memory Scorpio!!

I guess kids now-a-days can just use a computer but I think they are missing out on a lot of imagination type fun! I'm glad you were able to find some for your granddaughters Scorpio! Maybe they'll show their friends and Paper Dolls will make a comeback!

NHJackie Member Registered: 09/22/05 Posts: 868 Loc: Merrimack, NH	I used to play with paper dolls by the hour. Like many of you, I designed my own clothes for them. I think the cutout kind were even hard to find 20 years ago, when my daughter would have been interested. If memory serves, there was a company called Dover Publications that was still selling paper dolls. I got some to do research for clothing when I was writing a book set in the 1920's. I'll check and see if they're on the internet.

Jeannine Member Registered: 01/03/06 Posts: 195 Loc: Georgia, U.S.	What fun! I had my collections in decorated shoeboxes. Period paperdolls were my favorites. I have printed out many sets of paperdolls from online sites, for my granddaughter, who just loves them. Here's a link to a nicely done, hand-drawn Scarlett O'Hara, doll and outfits, you may print out: http://www.100megsfree4.com/gogators4/Scarlett2.html And here's a link to hand drawn Classic Movie Stars: http://www.100megsfree4.com/gogators4/ClassicMovieStars.html These print out nicely, and are large enough to be handled by, and dressed by little fingers. http://www.intouchwithjeannine.com
