Christmas Time - Vintage Christmas Dress-Up Paper Dolls
Betty Bonnet’s Christmas Party - by Woo Junior

"Today I’m sharing a treasured item from my personal antique ephemera collection: Betty Bonnet’s Christmas Party! 

These vintage Christmas paper dolls were illustrated by Sheila Young and originally published in the Ladies Home Journal magazines in 1916 through 1917. These magazines were very large by today’s standards (almost 11″ x 17″!). 

Monthly issues were mostly filled with short stories, advertisements, sewing patterns for women and children, and every month there was a kids activity – often paper dolls. 

It’s usually difficult to find older issues with these activity pages included, because most children took them out of the magazine to cut up and use back at the time they were delivered." - Wendy Piersall - Founder and CEO of Woo Junior Kids Activities

"Hoje estou compartilhando um item precioso da minha coleção pessoal de antiguidades: a festa de Natal de Betty Bonnet! 

Essas bonecas de papel de Natal antigas foram ilustradas por Sheila Young e publicadas originalmente nas revistas Ladies Home Journal de 1916 a 1917. Essas revistas eram muito grandes para os padrões atuais (quase 11 "x 17"!). 

As edições mensais eram em sua maioria repletas de contos, anúncios, padrões de costura para mulheres e crianças, e todos os meses havia uma atividade infantil - geralmente bonecas de papel. 

Normalmente é difícil encontrar edições mais antigas com essas páginas de atividades incluídas, porque a maioria das crianças as tiravam da revista para recortar e brincar no momento em que eram entregues." - Wendy Piersall - Fundadora e CEO da Woo Junior Kids Activities
