A doll for a winter afternoon

If you would like a page with warm clothes, this doll has small details to color at your own pace. The pom-pom hat and scarf let you try a different combination from the coat.

Try a blue coat with cream accessories. Leave a few white gaps in the pom-pom and add a soft shadow beneath the scarf: just a few colors can give it form.

What makes a doll kawaii?

Kawaii means cute or adorable in Japanese. These dolls use soft proportions, large eyes and simple details to convey joy and innocence.

◉Expression

Large eyes

The eyes hold the highlights and strongest contrast in the face.

♡Proportion

Rounded shapes

Large heads and soft silhouettes create a friendly appearance.

✿Decoration

Bows and accessories

Flowers, hearts, stars and stuffed toys reinforce their personality.
