Materials
- Felt
- Pen or marker
- Cardboard

Directions
- Draw the shape of a person on a square of felt.
- The person should have clearly defined arms and legs, with the arms held away from the body.
- Glue the felt to a piece of cardboard and cut out the doll.
- Glue on yarn for hair, and draw a face with a marker.
- To make clothing for the doll, place the doll on scraps of fabric and use a marker to trace around the body.
