## 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.

## Ideas to make it your own

- Pick Black hair for a bookish bob.
- Add the Star clip as a gold star.
- Make the pencil squishy as a match.
