Steve must have left home by then, and I don’t think my grandsons watched it. I love the books though, especially the early ones, like these.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-32496537293162941542014-05-10T14:17:59.949+01:002014-05-10T14:17:59.949+01:00That's such an unusual paper doll book - I hav...That's such an unusual paper doll book - I haven't seen it anywhere before.

We didn't get those 'Baby Doll' books, but we saw them on the shelves of a community club where we'd gone for art classes every Sunday evening. I like how your mother (and you) checked the neck, behind the ears, and for the colour of the socks!<br /><br />And no, you weren't wasting money.

I can’t remember what the magazines were called although Woman and home always seems to ring a bell. What a great idea to trace the dolls, I wish I had thought of that, but I was always too anxious to get them cut out and start dressing them up! Do you still have any of the dolls or were they all thrown away?

Mum used to have some old collection of women and home and women's weekly magazines given to her by some friends. They used to have some pages dedicated for the children and often there used to be poems and Beatrice Potter's stories and paper dolls and other activities for kids. I used to love the paper dolls. Mum would make me trace the dolls and draw it on thick card stock and colour them and cut the card stock. She never allowed me to cut from the magazines . Also I remember her reading to me the children's stories from that many a rainy evenings.Shashi Nayagamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104875758016386977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-7788973189795917262014-05-05T15:39:14.750+01:002014-05-05T15:39:14.750+01:00I used to love the cutout and dress dolls when I w...I used to love the cutout and dress dolls when I was a kid.
