We love good old-fashion snail mail! It's so much fun to get a letter in the mail from a sweet friend! Today I'm catching up on my letter writing and Rebecca is too...
But to write a letter, Rebecca needed a sharpened #2 pencil! Here's how you can make one for your doll, it's SO easy and fun! :)
First you need some supplies:
- Toothpicks
- Scissors
- Yellow marker
- Pink marker
- Black marker
- And, a parent/guardian to help you! :)
After you have your supplies, cut off one sharp end of the toothpick.
It should look something like this now. :)
Then start coloring your toothpick a pretty yellow. (Make sure to leave the blunt end uncolored, but we're coloring that next)
Make your pencil eraser by using a bright pink :)
Then give your doll's pencil a pointy sharp tip with some black! :)
Write a "2" on the pencil for a final touch, and you're finished! Ta-daaa!
Rebecca can't wait to get a letter back from her cousin Ana! :)
I hope you have fun making a pencil for your doll to write a letter of her own. If you do, I'd love to see! Feel free to send me a picture at [email protected]
