Jean Nordquist's Miniature Raphael Tuck Paper Doll & Toy Ornaments

Description

This new project (October 2020) is a reproduction of my antique Raphael Tuck paper toys collected over the past 25 years. I have included over 65 items for any one with good paper cutting skills to assemble as Christmas tree ornaments, doll toys, greeting cards, scrapbooks, toys for American Girl dolls, and simply for classic paper doll play by children of all ages. Complete detailed instructions with 93 color photos plus 6 pages of premium commercially printed images on thick card stock ready to cut. Also excellent to encourage home schooling using fairy tales and nursery rhythms and discussion of children's toys and play from the 1890'2 through the 1920's. Mu ornaments are displayed on a 22" feather tree to give you an idea of scale. This is the smaller version with additional ornaments of my first Tuck publication released in July 2020.

Description
I have loved and collected antique and vintage Rachael Tuck paper toys for over 25 years now. My collection emphasizes holidays, especially Christmas and Valentines, but also just wonderful images of children published by Tuck beginning in the 1860's through the 1950's. This is my second massive collection released this year with this version being a lot smaller. I have assembled my favorite 65 in this collection to share with you. They actual paper images range in size from around 1" high to 3" high. They are easy to cut out of 110# card stock and if you want them sturdier depending upon your use, you can glue a second piece of stock to the back in another color of your choice. This could work well for backing on Christmas tree ornaments. I was trying to make these paper toys easy for any child to cut out who has good scissor cutting skills. . .or for anyone who can work small scissors easily. This is an excellent project to occupy children for many hours to make their own paper toys to play with or accessorize as toys with their dolls such as American Girl dolls.
NOTE: All my workbooks and paper projects are printed on a commercial state of the art digital laser color printer on either 110 or thicker card stock or parchment paper.
