This gives them a chance to talk with a ‘boy’ even though there is not a young one in the house. It also gives parents a change to explain that boys and girls are different, but should both be treated with the same respect.

The variety of paper dolls your kids can make is truly endless and it will keep them busy for hours on end. Making paper dolls is a very good hobby.

By the time that I started looking for serious collector dolls, I already had over 30 different dolls, most of them in good condition. Of course, collectible dolls are not something that you get for kids. Part of the reason is that kids aren’t responsible enough to keep track of highly priced collectibles, but that is not the only reason. Kids want to play with their dolls, but collectors dolls are not to be played with. I had my own Barbie doll collection, and although I kept most of them in pretty good shape, some of them suffered from my games. I would cut their hair, modify the clothes – all the things that kids do with the Barbies.

A lot of kids love making and playing with cloth dolls.This may seem a little strange to some people, but in my family both the boys and the girls loved cloth dolls.

She could make the perfect clothes for American girl dolls, dressing them up in such fancy outfits that you would practically envy them. Although I was the only one in my friend circle who had the cloth doll hobby and even though I sometimes got made fun of over it, nevertheless I have grown to treasure my toy dolls. Even today I sew doll clothes in my spare time, and collect cloth dolls.
