Tiger Tribe Paper Dolls Kit | Vintage

The clever bit is the eighteen blank pages.

Twenty-four pages of the wardrobe arrive beautifully illustrated and ready to wear, which gets a child straight into playing. Then there are eighteen more in black and white, waiting to be coloured, patterned and designed however they like. So the kit starts as dressing up and turns into designing, usually without anyone noticing the shift.

That's what lifts it above a sticker book. A child who's happy to play can play, and a child who wants to make something has somewhere to go with it. Twelve coloured pencils are in the box, along with four pages of stickers for accessories and finishing touches, so there's nothing to go hunting for before you start.

Two dolls come with their own stands, which means the finished outfits actually get displayed rather than lost in a drawer. It also makes it a two-child activity, or one for a child and a grandparent at the kitchen table.

The vintage illustration style is lovely, and it's the reason this appeals well past the age you'd expect. It looks like something from a nicer era rather than a licensed character tie-in, and it photographs beautifully on a shelf.

Quiet, screen-free and good for a long stretch at a table, which makes it a reliable rainy day or caravan afternoon.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need anything else to use it?
No, everything's in the box including the pencils. That's a genuine advantage on a gift, because there's nothing to buy before it can be opened and started.

What's the difference between the coloured and black and white pages?
The 24 coloured pages are finished outfits, ready to use straight away. The 18 black and white pages are the same quality illustrations left blank, so a child can colour and pattern them however they want. Most end up using both.

Do you need scissors?
Not necessarily, though some children prefer to cut the outfits out neatly. Either way it's worth a quick word about care with scissors depending on the age of the child.

How long will it keep them busy?
With 42 pages of outfits and 18 of them to design from scratch, there's a lot in the box. It's the sort of kit that gets returned to over weeks rather than finished in one sitting.

Is it suitable for a 5 year old?
Five is the recommended starting age. Younger end of that range will enjoy the ready-made outfits and the stickers most, while the designing and colouring really comes into its own from about six or seven.

Do the dolls stand up?
Yes, both come with stands, so finished outfits get displayed rather than disappearing into a drawer. It makes a nice little scene on a shelf or a desk.

Is it good for travel?
It's great at a holiday house or a caravan table, though it needs a flat surface and a bit of room. For a car or a plane, something more contained works better.
