Written by: | Published: March 05, 2016 | Updated: May 03, 2023

We are always looking for ideas of things to keep the kids active. Quick and easy crafts and activities for kids are always a favorite, especially in the middle of winter when it’s too cold in Colorado to play outside.

Today I am sharing a printable paper doll and kids activity set for you. Kids can color and decorate their paper dolls however they like and then pretend play for hours. I hope you love this printable kids craft!

Printable Paper Doll and Kids Activity

One of the things I love most about paper dolls is that they are easy to customize. Each kid can color them; however they like to create their own personal character.

You can also use these dolls as templates to create your own outfits and designs, just cut out the clothing pieces and trace on to another piece of paper. Then decorate and play.

  1. I am sooo excited to try this paper doll set for my oldest granddaughter. She is eight years old and loves to color and be creative. I love this idea because it is a great way to make the connection with her of when I was eight and had paper dolls. Thank you so much for you free download. I will be checking out your site for more good ideas.
    Thank you, again,
