If you’re looking to make cute handmade toys for the kids, peg dolls are a fantastic and easy toy to consider. Small wooden peg dolls are affordable and easily found online or in many local craft stores. Once you have your dolls, let the magic unfold. Use your favorite art supplies (e.g. paints, markers, pom poms), scraps of recycled materials, fabric, felt, yarn or whatever you have on hand to create imaginative characteers. Involve the kids in making their own peg dolls for some awesome pretend play they’ll be proud to have a hand in creating.
