rainy day when you and Susie do not
know what to do with yourselves.
Take some old magazines and cut
out of the advertisements all the pic

you have about 10 of the same size
take them one by one and cut off their
heads. arms and feet
Now you and Susie are going to
play kind of game. so put all the
heads, arms, and feet in different piles.
so that you can not tell just what they
look like. The rest of the paper bodies
put into a different place.
Now. in turn. you and Susie can
choose from that pile. Each OF you
has a paper doll to make. In turn
you choose what YOU need. If the
arm or foot does not fit, you must put
it back. You will have to wait till
next turn to see the one you need and
choose it.
