Synopsis: What child has not longer for the joy of making a doll of one's very own and a doll house to put it in!

Even the plainest rag doll dream of and planned and created by a little girl gives a feeling that no fancy, expensive "store" doll can bring. For there is a delight that comes from making things with one's own two hands that hte most costly gift cannot equal. One does not have to be gifted to make a doll or doll house or doll clothes.

Not if one learns in the simple, easy-to-folow steps described here. Mother and child together-- and even brother and father, for there are boy dolls too-- will find making a doll or doll house a game that the whole family can enjoy. And there are so many kinds of dolls-- more than any child could dream of.

There's a french doll and an Eskimo doll, and Jan and Juliana, the Dutch Twins Dolls, and a twig doll and kitten doll and a giraffe doll and a funny bunny, and many, many other kids of dolls this book will show you how to make, in a simple way that the whole family will delight in.

And, of course, there are doll clothes and doll houses and even doll furniture. Reall, a doll dream book! But even more than having a doll made with your own two hands is the wonderful way you learn by doing. First, the simple steps and then the less easy, and finally some harder.

For the See and Do Book of Dolls and Dolls Houses not only shows you how to these things, but it develops the art of "seeing eyes" and "doing hands," the first steps to give a growing child assrance and confidence. Dolls and doll houses is illustrated with many fine pictures.
