This morning I found a blog (clicking from others that I read, really have no clue how I got there!)
Dolly Donations
So I called the girls over, and told them about it, and then we did 4 hours of ‘Family and Consumer Science’ studies today ;P
Here is what we ended up with:
Sierra and Ruby picked out the fabric and each stuffed an arm and a leg. They helped me stuff the body, and then Sierra helped with the shoes and bows. Karis and Sierra watched me paint the face, and of course, I did all the sewing! They are so proud – and now each of them want to make their own dollies. But this one is headed to Haiti!
*Update*
I just couldn't stop at one - they are too too adorable and I know they will be loved!

She is adorable - some lucky little girl will love her! What a sweet project to involve your own girls in.
Great that you can work these last minute projects into the curriculum - they'll learn more about "life" this way anyway. And she's gorgeous!
She is gorgeous and bound to be adored once she gets there. Are you putting a note in to tell them she's travelled from Alaska?
