Paper Dolls for Cold, Wintery Days

While winter in the desert isn't necessarily snowy, it can be cold and definitely very windy! It's on days like this, when it we can't play outside, that I like to find free things I can print off on the internet for the children to to do!

Our family recently watched the old Disney classic Polyanna. We were dazzled by the gorgeous Victorian era clothing and extravagant sets which depicted the richness of the homes and lives of some of the people in those days. We decided to look online to see if there were any free Victorian paper dolls that we could cut out and play with. The good ol' internet came through again!...There are quite a few sites from which you can print Victorian paper dolls, and many other types of paper dolls as well! And, wouldn't you know it, we also found Polyanna paper dolls to play with too!

Here's the website we found for the Polyanna paper dolls as well as a number of other Victorian era paper dolls. Some of these are already colored, and some are in black and white for you and your children to color:

The other page I want to share with you lists many other paper doll websites. (It is from this list that I found the above Victorian Paper Doll website.):

Happy cutting, coloring, and transporting yourselves into a wonderous era from the past...with paper dolls!
