How to paint peg dolls like farm animals
Wooden peg dolls are one of our favorite crafting surfaces because there are so many fun things you can make! We’ve made a Nativity set and a Halloween village, and we are so excited to add these mix-and-match farm animals to the collection!
These peg dolls are a little different from your traditional wood peg dolls because the heads and bodies are separate! We love the idea of kids being creative and mixing up the heads and bodies of these farm animals to make their own creatures!
Now, let’s talk about how we made them!
