Ashlee, from Bradford, sent in this great peg doll painting idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
We ordered a set of plain doll pegs from amazon and some acrylic paint pens (felt tip works too).
We wrote a list of key workers we would like to make and started with the postman as the kids love him haha!
We gifted him with the peg doll when he delivered our post, now we just look out for people who resemble our dolls and gift them on the spot. It’s like a nice surprise for them and we had a great response.
Was something different for us to do and it became very addictive very fast.
Do you have any other projects planned?
We also paint rocks in our spare time so will enjoy doing that.
