What is in the costume

  • School pinafore dress
  • Cardigan
  • Headphones
  • Knee socks and Mary janes

How to make it

  1. Print the sheet. Print the PDF on A4 paper at 100% scale (choose "actual size", not "fit to page"). Thicker paper or light card makes a sturdier doll.
  2. Cut out the doll. Cut around the doll. Ask a grown-up to help younger children with the scissors.
  3. Cut out the clothes. Cut along the dashed line around each piece of clothing.
  4. Dress the doll. Lay each piece on the doll and fold it around. Mix and match with any other doll sheet.
