Mariposa’s Garden
Step into a sunlit greenhouse with Mariposa’s Garden, a paper doll and colouring book by Canadian author and illustrator Briana Corr Scott. This imaginative book includes a paper doll of Mariposa, a young girl with a love for nature, along with three pages of outfits to colour and cut out. Children can also bring Mariposa’s garden home to life by colouring a series of beautifully illustrated rooms. Designed to encourage storytelling and creativity, the book features a pocket shaped like a floral cabinet for storing cut-out pieces. With themes of growth, beauty, and play, Mariposa’s Garden is a joyful addition to any young artist’s bookshelf.
Inspiration
Briana is inspired by paper dolls AND dollhouses. In this book , she decided to combine these two fascinations after learning about scrapbooks victorian children would make (see image below) . They would cut out pieces of furniture and paste them in a scrapbook to build paper rooms for their dolls. This book is Briana's version!
Colour in the clothing, cut out, and use the tabs to hang the clothes on your dolls.
Use the pocket int he back (looks like a dresser or cabinet!) to store loose parts like clothing and the doll.
Colour in the detailed rooms and use them as a "dollhouse" for your paper doll.
Because paper doll kits are a cutting activity, this book is recommend for people 6 years old and up. Cutting assistance may be required.
