Fanny
|
'Fanny' by Holly Hobbie is one of my girls' favorite books. It is about a little girl names Fanny who wants to have her own Connie doll for her birthday. Connie doll is Barbie-type doll with thick mascara and blushers and superficial and all-glamorous dress. But her mom says no because she doesn't "like the Connie dolls look. They're just too...much.", and so Fanny makes her own Connie doll. She replicates Connie using glue, scissors, fabrics and whatever she has in hands. But it is not Connie she made, but Annabelle,- a companion doll she always wanted. Annabelle has real yellow yarn hair, with pink pajama top and the widest grin a doll could ever have.
Inspired by this book, my girls decided to make their own Annabelle. It was fun to find out that their two hands and creative left brain can actually turn a plain canvas into the best doll!
