Thanks for the template. I am working on a poster with my daughter for her Just Say No Club and we are doing the theme “Together we can say–Drugs Stay Away!” and the paper dolls make a cute statement, holding hands, bonded together to say no to drugs!

My son made the alien paper dolls. Thanks for the templates. I’m glad to find your site. Your ideas will help keep my son busy and creative this summer.

Thanks for the templates…although I enjoyed the flashback to my childhood as I made a few this afternoon

I did the giant butcher’s paper version with my one year old son, myself and my husband, they are tacked proudly in our hallway – a very different family portrait:) If anyone would like to see let me know and I will arrange a pic. Thanks for the site claire.

Love your blog — and I second the call to keep the “obvious” ideas coming. Such a nice bit of inspiration for life with children. Thank you.

A winter version of this project would be snowmen. I did this with my students when I was teaching art in the elementary school. They children loved to dress each one differently. It made a wonderful decoration for the room as well…all of them connected together! Fun!

A bit of a variant on the same theme we have done is getting the littlie to lie down still (yes a big ask but even my hyperactive three year old managed it) on a big piece of butchers paper or newspaper and draw around them. Cut it out and then decorate one the size of them. We did one which got christened “Happy Tom” by my son which is still on the wall over a year later. I’m going to try and do one annually to show them how much they have grown.

Oh, please keep going with the obvious stuff! My mother wasn’t a very crafty person so I never did any of this at home, but would love to do it with my daughter.
