Enchanted Learning Software's Japanese Kokeshi Dolls More Crafts Kokeshi dolls are simple stylized dolls that are made for tourists on vacation in Japan. In Japan, these hand-painted, lathe-turned wooden dolls often had a cylindrical base (the body) and a round head. Many people collect these small dolls. In this children's craft, the base (body) is a small, plastic bottle and the head is a ping-pong ball. |

 |
 |
Hot glue the ping-pong ball to the top of the small, plastic bottle. Let the glue cool and set for a few minutes. |
 |
Give the body (the small, plastic bottle) a coat of paint (you can pick a simple white or beige, or choose a less traditional bright color). Let the paint dry. |
 |
Using small brushes or markers, draw the doll's facial features and hair (on the ping-pong ball). Let the paint dry. |
|
Then decorate the body to represent a beautiful kimono (a traditional Japanese gown). Let the paint dry.
You now have a beautiful Kokeshi doll. |
