If you used to spend hours making paper dolls and outfitting them with elaborate clothing and accessories, now your kids can do the same.

First, draw a simple doll and cut it out. (Cover it with tape or clear Con-Tact paper to make it sturdier.)

Then, hold it against a sunny window and cover it with a sheet of paper. Draw its clothes to fit, on the paper, and don't forget to include tabs to hold them on.

Our favorite part is making accessories: hats, backpacks, shoes, you name it. A decent sort of dog (with several changes of collar) is a must. So is a carrying case--or all those bits of paper will end up on your rug.
