A few weeks, ago, I stumbled upon some really excellent paper dolls created by Hannah at LightBulbBooks. Her aim was to create something that encouraged interests in science and engineering for young girls, and I loved her creations. Birdy and I printed them out, colored them, and played for hours, talking about how she could be a scientist, if she wanted, or a firefighter.
Inspired by Hannah’s creations, I took my crappy art skills to paper and made my own PWD paper doll (with bonus cat):

Birdy saw the paper doll before I scanned it and she laughed. “Does the cat get to wear a pump, too?”

Love this!! And of course, I’m coloring my cat black and white. 😉
Great Idea,
thanks for the pdf!

Very nice, Kerri! Love the bonus cat there and all the little paper D-supplies (I do note: there’s no paper coffee mug?!). It’s awesome that you got to play for hours coloring them with Birdy, and got to teach some great lessons too! Sounds like a fun D-Art experience all around. 🙂
Holy shit I forgot the coffee mug!! Such a fail. Next edition. 🙂
Leave it to you to make diabetes look adorable. 🙂
There may not be a coffee mug, but those bugged out eyes… J/K…
Very awesomely creative, Kerri.
Those are my speed eyes.
