Doll Things

Doll Things

Some doll items can be useful for your doll, I had old doll bottles which I added to Gemma’s play box as toys fancy that.

Small toys can very useful for them and quite cute, not just baby toys either.

At our Woolworths I got some animal cards and I made books, and I’ve got tiny toys for them, which is a cute thing for them to have during the day. I imagine they get bored and need entertainment to.

I used to give Gemma my Nintendo dogs game to watch like a movie. But back onto doll things, I’m so thankful Gemma and Alex fit into newborns clothes its so hard to find dolls clothes second hand and doll clothes new properly cost more then newborns clothes!

So us people with dolls that fit newborns clothes are laughing.

Post tonight

Sorry there was no Friday update I've written posts for this week which will go on tonight hopefully, Wednesday and Friday

Reborn Baby Care: Bath Time

Reborn Baby Care: Bath Time

I don’t suggest you submerge or wash your reborn doll in any way unless full plastic, silicone and no material at all.

If your reborn doll is plastic I suggest a dry face washer for eyes and cleaning dust just like a polish you don’t want to put soaps or anything onto the surface that may wreck or harm simple is the best without to much fuss.

If your reborn doll has hair like mine does could you put a touch of water upon it and dry gently with a towel (I don’t recommend it but you could try it without soaps of course) I wouldn’t blow dry Alex’s hair its to thin for that, Gemma doesn’t have hair, I have straightened Eleanor’s hair in the past but haven’t washed it yet, I would probably use hand soap and just rinse it well dry it well and may blow dry it I’ll have to try it because Eleanor does have things inside her cause she talks I’d have to be very careful if cleaning her hair or body, I’d re do her hair with hair bands, or pins and tie it back with hair ties.

Gemma had a few knocks on her hair and you could see her black painted on plastic hair was not looking so good, so I took a permanent marker and coloured the black back on you won’t notice now.

Gemma and I have drawn together with pens, pencils and crayons be very careful getting it on their plastic skin. L if you do water and a good scrub should save them they do love getting in and doing things with you. Your doll even though you don’t mean to may fall or be dropped occasionally they need a good hug their pacifier possibly a toy they’ll be fine.

So I hope my guide to cleaning and maintaining your doll helps you.

Reborn Baby Care: Routine

Reborn Baby Care: Routine

Your dolls like to sleep in just like you do so I dress my dolls after I eat breakfast and have a cuppa before I start housework and writing,

And I undress in the evenings before bed.

Your reborn is just like you in some ways, :D, they sleep, like to play and have adventures.

I try and dress and undress Gemma and Alex daily, Eleanor doesn’t have that option yet as I haven’t made or got Eleanor clothes cause she’s hard to dress and not the common baby size.

Alex and Gemma have clothes for the season, Pj’s and at home clothes so they have an option just like I do when I get dressed in many ways.

If you like to change your day throughout the day that’s really lovely :D.

I tend to dress for the day and dress for the night.

I leave them in my room or somewhere around the house and give them their toys or books.

When they go to sleep I give them their teddies and play my sample lullaby CD, I fold and put away their clothes and then re do the choosing the next day, the best thing you can do is have options when dressing them so they are dress according to the weather it makes it much funner to shop and dress them I think.

I don’t pretend to feed them though I use to put Gemma at the table with her fake food and all when we ate our meal.

I do wipe down their eyes and stuff to get rid of dust but you can read my post on that if you like.

So that’s my routine I hope you like it.

Reborn Baby Create It: Books

Reborn Baby Create It: Books

Sure you can go and buy books and stories at your local thrift shop, but for me nothing is my fun then making my own,

Get three A4 Piece of paper or more depending on the book you’d like to make.
IF you want to make it (Age appropriate for your reborn, think of their age)
If they are a newborn you could make short stories up, or copy rhymes and riddles of the net to read to them.

So get your three A4 piece of paper and fold them in half and half (All three together) and then staple the side which you can’t open the longest side where the fold is :D then get a knife that doesn’t cut (You’ll notice they are pages are all bunched together up the top and won’t open) cut every page to get more pages then be creative, (Staple before hand or it will fall apart!) By bunching the pages on top of each other together and cutting them you get more pages and use less paper.

BTW I’ll include pictures of this also.


Get your pencil, pens, crayons and create picture books, numbers, opposites and positive and negatives anything you like store them with a rubber band around them:

For inspirational ideas I’ll list some of the books I’ve made for my dolls:

Eleanor scrapbook

Maths and numbers

Reading stories for seven year olds 

Spelling and abc 

Poetry and rhymes 

Sticker story prince and princess 

The fruit alphabet

Vegetable alapahet 

Colours and textures 

Chocolate Charlie with caramel Charlotte and the doggie bone 

A caterpillar story 

Letters of the alphabet 

Numbers 

Abc numbers and shapes 

Picture and word book 

Animal book 

Animal alphabet 

Boy and girl stories  

The Pictures:

Pic 1: Get three pieces of A4 Paper

Pic 2: Put the three pieces of A4 Paper on top of each other 

Pic 3: Fold in half so top to bottom

Pic 4: Fold in half again so left to right

Pic 5: Staple along the longest side

Pic 5: You’ll notice the pages are bunched together up the top and it won’t open so it isn’t a book yet until you complete the next step

Pic 6: You need a knife, which doesn’t cut with a smooth flat knifey part 

Pic 7: Put you knife in between two pieces of paper that are stuck and slice upwards until it tears and the page is free to open and close

Pic 8: You should then be able to open the first page continue step seven until all pages are not bunched

Pic 9: they should now be free to open

Step 10: Get creative and bring your book to life.
