I was inspired by my daughter’s creepy crochet doll to make one at work. I had some yarn I wanted to use up and I thought some of the kids would like it. I got the expected responses ranging from creepy to cute. My goal is always to get creepy AND cute. Based on the responses, I succeeded. As always, the kids helped me finish her by suggesting (insisting) what colors to use for the hair and outfit. As you can see, they wanted all kinds of hair color! They picked the eyes out as well, albeit with a little help from me.
Since we had to close down the program so abruptly, I didn’t get a chance to finish the doll at work, but I brought all my materials home and was able to finish it here. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to put her in the prize-box soon.
And here she is!
What do you think? Did I succeed at creepy AND cute?
You nailed it, Yolanda π Creepy and cute! I love how she gets input from all the little creative souls π₯°

I believe it π₯° Itβll probably lead them to put their ideas into their own artwork. ππ

Thank you! One of my first graders wanted all the colors for the hair. I couldnβt decide if I just wanted to mix it or keep it separate. Iβd never done it separated so I thought it would be fun to try it like that. Luckily it worked out. π

I love all of the doll’s imperfections. She speaks volumes to me. We don’t have to look or be picture perfect, just ourselves. Thank you for sharing her.
