Create a Fun and Almost Free Stocking Stuffer for Kids – Paper Doll Puppets

So, for the past week, I've been in the process of creating this Christmas gift to share with you. Just about everyone in my office thinks I'm goofing off, making something for my own child (and yes, she will receive this for Christmas!) or says, "I can't believe this is your JOB."

But, it is! It is my job to save the moms and dads out there who need a little Christmas cheer! Here's an easy (and almost free) gift to give your smaller children in their stockings!

Paper dolls used to be the thing for a little girl to receive. Now, we have lifelike dolls that eat and poop and do all the things we dread when we have actual, real children but paper dolls can be fun to play with or draw on. And, if your kids think they are stupid, well just trash them!

All you have to do is find the characters they like in an American Girl catalog or print them off and cut the characters out. Then laminate and cut the figures out of the laminate. You can use Frozen characters, super hero characters, Bible characters - really anything they are into. Stick a magnet, Popsicle stick or Velcro on the back for even more fun and help your kids act out a paper doll show!
