Since O and I (and E...although she usually falls asleep) have been reading the Little House on the Prairie books for the past 5 or 6 months (we only have one more to go!), I thought she would love to have a set of Little House on the Prairie dolls and a covered wagon for Christmas.
I thought about adding more detail to the dolls, but I think I'm going to wait and get O's input before adding anything more to them. After I finish the dolls completely, I'll paint them with a layer of Mod Podge to seal and finish them.
I searched and searched for a covered wagon and finally found one on Etsy at Tweet Toys by Willow Baus. The wagon wasn't exactly what I wanted, so I emailed and asked for a custom order. They made it just like I wanted it, and it only cost a few dollars more. (I love that about Etsy shops!)
The covered wagon even came with 2 little people.
But they had to move over to make room for the Ingalls.
I really enjoyed painting these dolls, and I hope that O loves them.

Those are so super cute. I think your O will go mad with joy when she sees them!!
Oh those are so adorable! We are reading the Little House on the Prairie books right now too, well technically I'm reading them to my daughter :) How did you make the people? I would love to do something like this for my daughter, what a great idea!
They came out great! Awesome gift
I'm so impressed! I'm absolutely sure O will love them! Thanks for the inspiration!
Adorable! Last week we did activities centered around Christmas in the Big Woods. These would have been a great addition. Thanks for sharing. I'll be linking on Facebook.
those are so cute, I am going to have to make some like that for my grand-daughters
What a great idea, these are so cute. I would have loved them as a child! Reading the Little House books as a child is something I'll never forget and I'm looking forward to reading them with my two girls :)
My 5 year old saw these and wanted to make them SO badly! We are reading the Little House Series and she loves it too! :) Unfortunatly we couldnt find enough pegs at the store. :(
Where did you order the pegs to get the girl ones?
What a great idea!
Love it! And they are going to love it too. So cool to have the set to match the books, along with those awesome wagons! We made wooden people for our girls last year, too! We just did our family and random assorted others. My husband and I had a blast (it was a joint effort since he carved them and I painted).
Seriously - Precious!!
Oh, they are adorable! My son and I are on the 4th book. We love the books! Great idea!
