Making Peg Dolls - Giveaway and child creations

 

Margaret Bloom is one clever lady
She is the creator and writer of this wonderful book
  


I received a copy and when my nieces visited at Christmas we sat and read it together
We decided to get busy and have a go at making some, it was an inspirational read
Full of wonderful instructions with clear beautifully taken photos

Out came the paints and paint brushes


 We then searched around for decorating material, felt pieces, fake fur, ribbon, lace,wool, acorn caps etc

 We lined them up and here they are


But that was not all, we told stories with them
My what fun we had

I have one copy of Making Peg Dolls to giveaway
It will close on Monday
Just leave a comment, and where I can reach you, if you win  
It is open to all international visitors

Love and light  Marie

    Hello Marie,
    these kind of peg dolls I know from the time were my son has been in the Waldorfkindergarten in Bavaria. We both did enjoy making and I still love them. The fist peg doll my son made I still own. I also saw the Making Peg Dolls: Book Trailer on youtube. I really like it. Wonderful.
    Would be nice if you enter me in the give-away.
    Best greatings from Bavaria

    Hi from Aus, I found your blog while searching the net for help fulfilling my New Years resolution - to live in the present and to be a better mother to my kids (goodbye tv!). The peg doll book looks perfect for re-engaging with my kids. Thanks for the inspiration! fledglingshollow at gmail dot com

    Margaret Bloom is a great craftswoman and a swell person. Her book is beautiful, and her imagination is even more so. If I had kids, this is one of the first books I'd buy for working with them - GREAT fun.
