(a) Ten snowmen dancing? (b) Ten gingerbread men in need of baking? Or (c) Ten medical play dolls waiting? Ding-ding-ding-ding.....yes, C is the correct answer!
A group of us at church have been making Medical Play Dolls for a local children's hospital. These dolls are used to help hospitalized children express their feelings. The poly-filled fabric dolls have a blank face and body to allow the children to draw on them.
Apparently, the hospital uses about 50 of these dolls per day and was completely out when the group leader contacted them. We worked on the dolls some at church (which was especially fun) then took some home and we'll finish up any that are left this coming Sunday.
Another set of ten...
"I Heart Zines"

That's an awesome thing (the dolls) that you guys did, and the zines look like fun!
I would never have thought about a need for medical play dolls- they look cute all together.
Your zines look like so much fun- can you bring some to the next craft day? I'd love to peek at some.
I am so glad you received my Shape zine. In fact, I got your zine in my box. It's fantastic! I'm planning to blog the whole swap this week.
