Kids absolutely love dressing this doll. All it takes is scraps of cloth.

Materials:
Large craft sticks
Google eyes
Markers
Fabric scraps
Elmer's Glue-All
Scissors

Time: 20-30 minutes. I found it took so long because the kids were very serious about how the doll should be dressed, and tried several things before they were satisfied.

Method:
1) Gather cloth scraps. The size of the scraps doesn't matter too much, because the kids will cut the size they want.
2) To make the circle skirt on this doll, cut a circle from your desired fabric. I went for a satiny brocade look. Slit the circle to the center and then cut across the fabric to allow the stick to fit. If you then glue the back of the skirt to the craft stick, it will flare out nicely. The measurements for this are very individual, so almost any size circle will do.
3) Glue all your fabric to the stick, not to itself. Note: Elmer's School Glue will not glue fabric.
4) Decorate the face with markers, and if desired, add shoes to the bottom of the stick.
5) Glue on Google Eyes.
6) Let everything dry.

NOTES FOR WORKING WITH KIDS
I had several kids want the doll to have arms. The best I could do was cut a craft stick in half. This requires adult scissors. The arms were over long and looked out of place, but it made some children happy. Also, I had an African American girl color the stick a nice brown color. Be sure to have markers that will allow ethnic Americans to express themselves.

What about using pipe cleaners for arms?
