If you like our wooden peg sorting dolls you'll love these salt dough trucks for imaginative play.
I love simple toys like this. Ones that are easy to make and adored by my little girl.
I found this wooden doll and cups set at Joann's, but I've seen them at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and on Amazon as well. There are so many cute ways to decorate these dolls. Check out these Super Hero peg dolls from Views from a Step Stool.
I painted each doll and matching cup with acrylic paint and then applied a clear coat of spray paint. After they were dry, I used a thin sharpie pen to add the faces.

Materials
Instructions
- Paint each doll and cup 1 color.

- Spray dolls and cups with clear spray paint.
- Let dry completely.
- Add facial details using ultra fine point permanent marker.
Notes
DO NOT add facial details before spraying the dolls with clear spray paint. The clear coating will make the pen ink run.
Kaylee loves her "babies". She has had so much fun matching them and it drives her CRAZY if she sees one in the wrong colored cup. Aaron likes to switch them on purpose 🙂 The boys like playing with them too.
