Hanging Doll Clothes
Oh, what a hoot. Kids sure don’t play like this many more. Kinda sad as that is how they learned to wash and iron.
I’m glad you like this Diana. I agree with you – kids sure don’t play like this anymore.
These are wonderful! While these depict girls playing quite a long time ago, I did play like this, and a couple of my granddaughters do too. Moms need to let their children have some free time to just make up their play instead of scheduling everything for them. Thank you for these. I will use them to illustrate a family history book I am doing.
Peggy, I love your idea to use these in your family history book! It’s nice to know that a couple of your granddaughters play like this. 🙂
This is precious, Julie! Thanks for sharing.
