BUSY BUDDIES
Restored 1946 Book from FMN Publishing
Painted by Ann Kovach

This book was called Punch-Out Dolls but we don't have a die-cutting feature when we print our paper dolls, so we couldn't very well call it that. Since these five children do so many activities together that's what inspired the new name...and we could not find any other paper doll by this name in all the reference books. Pretty amazing, eh?

Lovely backgrounds for the 6 costume pages tell a story through a setting where the children would wear the clothes. They have been charmingly painted by the same lady who painted the dolls; Ann Kovach. We did some considerable re-painting to make the nearly square book fit the vertical format, and did the usual brightening of darkened edges, and freshening the whole look to pretty and new. It's a fun book just to look at.

The five little buddies have clothes to:
* Play and swim at the shore
* Have a picnic in the park
* Dress up for a costume party
* Go camping in the woods
* Give a garden party
* and Have a slumber party
