Tissue Paper Game
For girls who are creative and like a challenge, create a tissue paper clothing doll dress up game. Use a pack of multicolored tissue paper, scissors and clear tape to make clothes for a doll. This game works for any size doll, but most outfits you create from tissue paper will be one-time use as they will have to be cut or ripped off of the doll. For an extra challenge, take the scissors away and allow only for the paper to be ripped with hands into the desired shapes. Judge the best outfit from a group if you choose and hand out prizes.
Speed Dress Up Game
A speed dress up game is a fun game for a party or sleepover. Each girl in the group chooses a doll and an outfit to dress the doll in. Each doll's outfit should have the same amount of clothing pieces to make it fair; the more pieces for each doll, the more fun the game will be. After a countdown, the game begins and each girl must dress and undress her doll completely two times. The girl who is fastest at doing this wins the game.
Fashion Designer
If there is an adult around who is handy with a sewing machine, use plain white fabric to sew simple dresses or shirts that will fit a specific doll. With fabric decorating supplies and the help of an adult, a girl can design her very own outfit for her favorite doll. Use fabric paint, buttons, gems, sequins, thread and fabric glue to decorate the clothing. Older girls will especially like this game and can design quite elaborate outfits with colored fabrics and fitted clothes with just a little practice.
