My friend, a preschool teacher did these with her class. She had have some parent helpers.
Anyone else ever make these?

deemail said:my grandmother always made a doll for each of her grandchildren and then great-grandchildren...she used an entire skein of aunt lydia's rug yarn so that they were washable...then the new boy dolls got pants and a shirt, usually from flannel, and the girl dolls got a little pinafore....i remember looking at mine and trying to figure it out...it appeared that she just took off a yard or two but mostly left the skein in one piece, just tying where appropriate...i still have my boys' dolls...
deemail said:i don't remember hanky dolls, but i do remember my mother taking a hanky or a washcloth (when we were in the bath) and rolling it just so to make twins swing in a hammock...this was always accompanied by a chorus of Rock-A-Bye Baby....
how about buttons on a string? my kids always had to have one to play with when i sat down to the sewing machine....and a 4 holed button makes a 'whirring' noise while playing with it....
OMG! I remember making those as a child myself! Thanks for the happy memory.SEA said:I remember my mom showing my sister and me how to make these. We used up all her little left over balls of yarn. One year maybe more several hung on the Christmas tree.
