Looking for some fun and free activities to keep you or the kids entertained? Well, Caricatures by Carmel has a solution. Turn on your printer, get the colouring pencils or paints ready and have some fun designing and playing with some Paper Dolls.

During the first Covid lockdown in 2020, I started drawing paper doll designs to share which are still available online here for anyone to make. All the designs are totally free to download from this website. No registration or passwords required.

There are Seven Paper Doll designs to choose from; Derry, The Rock, Billie, Gerry the Giraffe, Idina, Lewis and Pretty Bowtique. Each Paper Doll design includes a doll, three fun outfits and some accessories. Just click on the links listed bellow and download the design you like.

After you have downloaded the design, print it out, colour in the doll, the outfits and accessories. Have fun with the colours, be imaginative and sure, go crazy. Then the careful part is cutting out the paper doll and all the outfits. Be careful to cut around the tabs, the tabs will be required to dress the doll. When you have it all cut out, bend the tabs and dress your doll.

You can have fun creating fun videos like stop animation or stories with photographs. I hope you get some enjoyment out of them as I did drawing them. If you share any photos of your finished Paper Dolls on your social media be sure to tag me @caricaturesbycarmel, I would love to see them!

This Paper Doll has a Frozen theme. The caricature is based on Idina Menzel, the beautiful voice behind Elsa in the popular animated Disney film Frozen. Colour in her beautiful dresses or turn her into a Super Hero! Be creative and ‘Let it Go!’ (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

Paper Doll based on Dwayne Johnson, better known as The Rock. The actor, producer, businessman, retired professional wrestler, and former professional football player. His outfits include a safari ‘Jumanji’ style, a super hero and a fun school boy one.

The Derry Paper Doll was created on Derry Fleming, who will be recognisable to many as Bat Dad and one of the stars in Tadhg Flemings hilarious social media posts. You can follow Tadhg and his family on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Twitter.

The Billie Paper Doll was created on the talented American singer, songwriter, and musician, Billie Eilish. She had the green and black hair when I designed this one but you can have fun colouring her hair and outfits any colour you want!

The Lewis Paper Doll was designed on the talented Scottish singer, songwriter, and musician, Lewis Capaldi.  So download, print, colour and create ‘Someone you Loved’ who is Lewis ‘Before you Go’ (sorry for the bad song puns, lol)

The Pretty Bowtique Paper Doll includes a doll and 6 fun accessories to decorate her hair. Pretty Bowtique is a beautiful Irish handcrafted hair accessories business for children.

Check out Pretty Bowtique website here to view the collection of handmade hair accessories and personalised pieces. Made with love for your little treasure!

And my final Paper Doll design is Gerry the Giraffe, is a happy colourful fella who loves dressing up! Dress him up in a colourful patterned jumper (sweater) or as a Super Hero!
