210 Things To Do, 1942 — The Doll Family at Home

Posted on January 10, 2014August 1, 2015 by Martha

Since many of you are probably experiencing snow and freezing temperatures, here is a fun indoor activity for your children or grandchildren. My younger sister and I loved these activity books when we were little and, because this book was published about a decade earlier, it is even cooler than the books I remember (the couch and table cover are my favorites). The instructions call for a hat box, which you probably don’t have, but you could use any sort of tallish box. I have reduced the size of the images just a bit, so you should be able to print the pages on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper (click twice to enlarge, then save or print).
Note: Family, unfortunately, not included.

    I loved activities like this when I was a child. I had a friend in elementary school who was so good at origami, she could fold paper and make all kinds of furniture. I specifically remember her making a piano with folded paper. We took folded paper and trolll dolls out at recess and played with them.
    These pictures bring back happy memories . . . . I will print them out for the next time granddaughter is here.

    Oh, I loved things like this! I mostly remember punch-out books that had furniture and such. Happy memories!

    I used to love these kinds of crafts! I think making them was more fun than playing with them afterwards!
