We're already big fans of the gorgeous collectible carved Alice in Wonderland dolls at Etsy shop Cart Before the Horse, but we're so happy to find their awesome articulated paper-animal dolls which are just as lovely.
Just cut out the paper doll parts which are printed on beautiful heavy paper stock, add a few mini-brads (okay, so you might want to have those on hand) and the dolls are ready for all kinds of moveable, poseable action. And if you're looking for a new twist on wall decor, all of these paper creations would look exceptionally sweet in a shadow box, too.
Personally, I think if anything's going to make a lethargic four-year-old smile, it's a striped-sock-clad, plie-ing pink elephant--or a Big Bad Wolf or a dragonfly named Lulu. And I'll take any of those over another auto-tuned episode of The Backyardigans any day. -Stephanie S.
