There is one dot-to-dot I will not be printing - the one that appears to be promoting alcohol. Maybe someday we will get to a point that alcohol is less common and stemmed glasses imply fruit juice!

An idea for all you saavy Moms. Any local art supply store sells "color water pencils". These will give your child hours of clean fun. You simply draw (or if you child is older s/he could do it)a line down the side of where you want the color on the doll or the dress. Then you give your child a paintbrush and a small glass of water. Yes, the dip in water and paint the color you set into the picture. voila! {some of you may remember the coloring books that did this when you were a child, same concept) Suggestion: print the dolls on heavier card stock if you plan to do this, the water won't interfere with the paper as much.

Last year my sister gave our parents a nice table-top treasure chest filled with what looked like home-made confetti for Christmas. Actually, there were 365 memories written on yellow legal pad, and then cut apart and folded. One for each day of the year. So every day my parents pull out a memory from our childhood and read it. This year my three siblings and I are contributing 90+ memories to keep the tradition going. This idea could be great for children to give to their grandparents.

For example, i just finished making a christmas tree out of my two year old son's hands. I like to give the grandparents an art activity each holiday whether it be christmas or thanksgiving etc....but i tend to run out of ideas with the little ones.... thanks, Carmen hey! thanks for the paper doll and dot to dot ideas. those are great for my neices and nephews.
