Paper dolls so pretty you might play with them yourself

I'm a sucker for beautiful vintage-y paper dolls; they're the perfect antidote to the plugged-in life my kids are living. And beautiful vintage-style paper dolls that help kids with disabilities? Sold.

 

TinyUs is a creative charity set up to raise funds for Présence, a school for children with developmental disabilities in the south of France. The entire price of each card or paper doll purchased at their web site goes directly to Présence. Even better: the pieces have no set prices -- you choose your donation.

The site offers paper doll cards, traditional paper doll sets, and party invitations, for both boys and girls. The paper dolls have an old fashioned feel to them that makes them irresistible, at least to me.

I have boys, so there's not a lot of playing with paper dolls around here, but these pieces are so beautifully rendered that you could easily frame them and hang them in the nursery or playroom. Or in your office, if you like quirky kid art in your own space. I'm thinking of doing that myself, actually. -Susan
