Who needs movies, television and video games when there are books and paper doll acting to be had as a form of entertainment?

I'm sure giving up movies, television and video games would be a big hit with kids. Yes, I am being sarcastic, but if you are looking for a way to get the kids from out in front of these three past times for a while, the following could be a way to do so.

With Mads the Rabbit paper doll and his friend Astrid, kids can have two sets to color. They can have a fun time using their imaginations sending the two on adventures like in the book "Tom Sawyer."

Not only that, they have two activities for the price of two printings of these two animal characters. If you think like "Winnie the Pooh" and his friends, the stories they can tell are endless.

Speaking of "Winnie the Pooh" and "Tom Sawyer," you could read the stories to the younger kids who are not able to read. They can act out parts of the books as you are reading to them with Mads and Astrid. This will give them a way to actively participate in reading time.

For those who are on a tight budget, these types of activities can be fun and cheap for the whole family. The older kids can read similar books to their younger siblings while they are participating in the scenes as mentioned above. Also one older child can be one of the paper doll characters while the younger one is the other. A third sibling can read the book while they bring the story to life with the paper dolls and their clothing and accessories.

Does Mads the Rabbit have any friends?

Mads has a friend named Astrid. When they are not playing in Farmer Jenkins field, they are often seen playing by the creek down the road from Mads' home.

How can kids use Mads the Rabbit paper doll?

They can color it different colors. This includes the clothes and accessories.

They can use it to tell a story. When reading a book, they can pretend Mads is reading to them or they can read to Mads.

Mads can be used to create a fashion show with all its clothes and accessories. The audience for the fashion show can be family and friends.

Advantages of the colorable Mads the Rabbit doll and clothes.

Since these paper dolls print using only a black printer cartridge, it will be far cheaper to print than color ones. You will not be using as much ink when printing compared to using a color ink cartridge.

Crayons are cheaper by the box than a color ink cartridge or refill. Colored pencils or markers can be used to color them. All three of these items can be found at any dollar store if you are in need of coloring utensils.

The rabbit, clothes, and accessories can be colored any color the kids want them to be. This can lead to printing a few sheets of each so the kids can have different colors of rabbits, accessories and clothes.
