Samaritan's Purse, headed by Franklin Graham, has a program specifically for children who don't have much of anything at all. A donor chooses a boy or girl in certain age ranges and fills a shoebox (one's own or one given) with hygeine items (soap, washcloth, toothbrushes, toothpast, comb or brush), school items if appropriate age (they want to go to school, but can't w/o supplies) (pencils, pens, crayons, markers, etc) and fun stuff (paper dolls, small doll or stuffed animal, coloring book [I use ones with very little English since the boxes go around the world], small cars or dinosaurs) You get the picture! Many churches do this, it's called Operation Christmas Child, and with a few phone calls you could locate one near you and get information. You could just make felt paper dolls to your hearts content and leave these at a church: OCC workers would love to find boxes to put them in! City Missions and Shelters would love things for kids to play with, churches may know of needy community families, schools might even be able to help.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563276873949724553.post-30319724554504073872013-10-23T13:46:38.405-04:002013-10-23T13:46:38.405-04:00It's been so much fun - I recommend trying it!...It's been so much fun - I recommend trying it! You could put magnets on the felt and have a fun new fridge toy :) Ultimately, I think I'll make two sets for my nieces. They often get the spoils of my experimentation.Julie Allen Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319742366635330305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563276873949724553.post-55933169419324728862013-10-23T11:00:33.842-04:002013-10-23T11:00:33.842-04:00I've often thought about making felt paper dol...I've often thought about making felt paper dolls, but what stops me is that I have no children to play with them. I don't know what I would do with the felt paper dolls if I made them. I'm pleased to see that you have both the same goal and some little people who would enjoy them.
