A Child’s First Doll with Mindy Upton
Saturday, September 20, 11 am Central
Dolls have always been an important part of my childhood and in my kindergarten classroom. As a child I remember always leaving the house with a little dolly in my pocket. I brought dolls with me when I started teaching in the kindergarten. I had all kinds of dolls for the children. What I noticed was that these small simple “First dolls” were always part of the play. These “Cuddlies,” (as we called them), provided a safe space for the children as well as a companion and “friend” bringing comfort and joy in our kindergarten home. 
 
I often make these dollies with class parents out of old sweaters or clothing. They can be made very quickly by hand or with a machine. We will be creating these “Cuddlies” in this webinar accompanied by some lovely lullabies and stories. Very few and simple materials are needed and will be shared with you upon enrollment, as well as copies of songs. Please join us for a soothing and fulfilling craft to “birth” a little “Cuddly” or a Cuddly family of your own!
