Summary

Prepare to get crafty and cozy! For this episode, we spoke with Lily Tice, a toy expert and artist who works online as @LibrarianKiddo. As a child, Lily wrote to American Girl with her ideas for new characters. As an adult, Lily brings those ideas to life and continues to make childhood magic for others. Lily chatted with us about the history of paper dolls, the American Girl magazine, and how she creates custom characters. Before listening, be sure to visit our website to find a printable file custom-made by Lily for this episode. You'll be able to make your own Caroline paper dolls and perhaps even start your own paper doll chain with friends and loved ones. Before you can say "Caroline Craft Fair," you just may find yourself agreeing that there's nothing one-dimensional about paper dolls.
