How to Make a Television Set for Dolls out of Recycled Materials:
1. Find a little cardboard box.
2. Locate a picture of a television set from a magazine that will fit on one side of the box.
3. Cut it out and glue it on.
4. Accessorize! Glue little pictures of DVDs or remote controls to the sides. Cut out a picture of a plant, glue it on some cardboard, and stick it in a slot at the top.
5. Cut out a slot on the front. This is the DVD player. Cut out small pictures of DVDs. Your child can feed them into the slot and retrieve them by opening the box back up again.
6. Prepare yourself for hours of fun watching your dolls gaze at an old cardboard box.

That’s completely adorable. I love the touch of the slot for DVDs…

I remember doing projects like this with my mom when I was little, and I’ve been crafty ever since! I’m looking forward to the days of creative art with my little one (due December 5)!

I’m looking forward to doing more similar crafts with Audrey! She’s three and a half, and right now she thinks of the ideas (she asked me to make her dolls a TV!) and I execute them. She also helps pick out the pictures from the catalogue and “assists” with the glue. As she gets older, it will be interesting see her embark on her own crafty pursuits.
