My doll club had a "Found Objects" challenge last month. Here is my entry. I call her "Nita's Bag Doll" since I found all the components including the measuring spoons in one of Nita's bags. Nita is almost 5 and is an avid collector. Of what you ask? Well.. everything actually. The other day I opened her box of Hotwheels cars and found a couple of my bangles, 5 little pebbles, 2 beads, few marbles and of course 25 little cars. Need I say more?
The head is one of my little dolls. I had been searching for it for quite some time now and it was in Nita's bag . I used a green monster finger puppet which she must have collected from her brother's goody bag for the doll's hair. The body is a chocolate box which my husband brought from a trip to Sweden. (The chocolate was yummy!) The base of the doll is a toy plastic hamburger. Nita is patiently waiting for me to give the play hamburger back to her so she can add it to her restaurant menu. She loves to play "restaurant" with Daddy. The shiny "armor" is a controller for a spider robot which does not work. The spoons worked very well as arms.
It was a fun project and next time I won't think or worry too much about finding objects and head straight for Nita or one of her bags.
