Santa Tudy

We've checked our blogs twice and couldn't find Tudy's Santa hat! So isn't it nice that we're bringing it back? And since all the TudyPets were nice not naughty, they get their Elf hats too!

Tudy Tidings to YOU!

Hanging Out with Tudy

This holiday season, make Tudy Hanging Ornaments for your Totally Tudy parties! Print your TudyDoll in an appropriate outfit (check out the flower fairy and witch costumes!) and cut her out. Cut out the prop (the rectangle that props up TudyDoll as a paper doll) and fold at the center. Make a loop by pasting the ends together and leaving part of the center (about 1 inch) free. Paste the loop on the back of your TudyDoll, making sure the top of the loop is level with the top of her head. Tie a piece of ribbon, string or thread thru the loop and “hang out” with your Tudy ornaments!

Prep for LESS!

It's always a chore to prep for school.  So here's a Tudy Tip to help you prep for LESS!  Choose your favorite Tudydoll in your favorite TudyDoll outfit, print her on transfer paper, and transfer her onto a T-shirt, pj’s, pillowcase, bed sheet and anything else you like! Just be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the transfer paper.  Or print her on sticker paper and decorate your notebooks, books, folders and files with your fave TudyDoll!
Or print a photo quality image of your Tudydoll and take her to a specialty shop that will do all that for you. Ask a grown-up for help!

Because Tudy's the little paper doll that COULD!

Tudy Marks the Spot

You know Tudy just loves books, books, books! She's got a Tudy Book List and a Tudy bookmark of the month to share!

But YOUR TudyDoll can mark your spot in any book of your choice! Print your fave TudyDoll in your fave outfit. Instead of cutting her out as a paper doll, outline her in a rectangle and cut her out as a bookmark (you can cut off part of the stand for this project). Decorate the borders, punch a hole on the top of the bookmark and tie a ribbon that matches her outfit!

Its a TudyDoll bookmark!

Tudy on Tour!

You know what's the best thing about a TudyDoll? She doesn't take up much space, so you can take her anywhere! Take your TudyDolls with you on your next road trip or vacation (keep them in a TudyDoll folder!). Bring along some coloring and craft material and keep the travel blues away! Then, have a picture taken with your TudyDoll at your favorite sightseeing spots. Or with your new friends or old relatives. And when you get home, decorate your photo album with even more TudyDolls!

The Tudy Tumbler

Lots of shops sell tumblers you can design yourself. They come with a base you can twist off and an inner template you can use for your own design. Get one from your favorite shop (we got Tudy's from Starbucks), twist off the base, and remove the inner template that comes with it. You're now ready to make your own Tudy Tumbler!

Download the TudyPets background and text box templates, print, and cut out (be careful!). Then Track the TudyPets, and print and cut out your favorite. Lay out your chosen TudyPet and text box on the background template and paste. Loosely roll your new TudyPet template and insert it into your tumbler until it fits nicely. Trim off any edges that overhang the tumbler. Twist base back on.

Take a Tudy Tumbler with you!

A Fairy Tip

Make your own fairy wings for your Flower Fairy Tudy! Download the template (or design your own!) and then carefully cut it out to use as a pattern. Trace the pattern on a piece of paper of your choice (we particularly like the japanese and tissue papers you can get from any stationery or craft store). Carefully cut out the fairy wings and decorate as you please (we just added glitter glue!). Paste onto the back of your Flower Fairy Tudy. Now she's ready to grant a few wishes!

Grin and Bear It

Look who borrowed Tudette's teddy bear for her new PJs! Download Tudy's bear-y comfy pyjamas, cut out, tab onto your TudyDoll (or even paste it on!) and have a Sleepover Party with your friends and Tudy! It's the perfect PJs to cuddle up in!

Tudy To Go...

Print your favorite TudyDoll or TudyPet on sticker paper and decorate your journals, notebooks, books, albums, scrapbooks, bags, folders, and anything else you like. That way your TudyDolls and TudyPets go wherever you go!

Make a Splash

With an Under the Sea Tudy Party! Get a roll of bubble wrap and cut into bubbly placemats, or measure to fit your table and use it as your bubbly tablecloth (bubble side down)! Decorate your bubbly placemates or tablecloth with stickers, sticking to a fish and sea creature motif. Then check out an aquarium store (don't raid your aquarium!) and use aquarium decor as your table toppers! Stuffed toy seahorses, whales and dolphins all add to the under the sea flavor! And bubble makers are great fun and great favors! Stick to an ocean blue and sea green theme for your table setting or even use clear plates, glasses and cutlery!

And make a bigger splash with a Tudy Mermaid party favor! Download the mermaid costume, decorate with glitter glue, cut out and paste onto your TudyDolls. Or let your guests decorate their own Tudy Mermaids. You and your guests will be swimming in fun in no time!

Team Tudy!

Check out Tudy's sports and gym outfits for this project! Print a TudyDoll for each member of your team or create a TudyDoll cheerleader and transfer the images onto your team uniforms! Just be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the transfer paper. Or print a photo quality image of your TudyDoll and take her to a specialty shop that will do all that for you.

And for even more team spirit, dress your TudyDolls in Tudy's Sports Tee and Cap! Go Team Tudy!

Party Animal!

Planning a party? Have a roaring good time with a Tudy in the Jungle theme party! Bring the outdoors in with lots of leafy, green plants and trailing vines (think camouflage!). Then, cover your tables with brown, craft paper or muslin tablecloths and use jungle-inspired green or brown tableware. Set 'em up with stuffed, jungle animals or animal-shaped books and use them as party favors. Or, get creative (and cheap!) with animal origami! Now, stuff table napkins and cutlery in animal hand puppets or use simple, raffia bows as napkin rings. Ask your guests to wear safari-inspired outfits or anything with an animal print (Tudy Note: animal prints are such a fashion staple anyway!). Or, let them heed the call-of-the-wild and don jungle, animal costumes!

Finally, don't forget to dress your TudyDolls in the Tudy Safari T (goes great with her khaki pants!) Make her part of your trunk show and party favor! It's all wildly inviting so party on!

Tudy Was Framed!

Make your TudyDolls part of your room décor. Print your favorite TudyDoll in your favorite outfit. Don’t cut her out for this project! Decorate the ENTIRE page with drawings, paintings, stickers, ribbons or any crafting material you like. Your TudyDoll is now frameable art!

Stuck on Tudy!

It's crafting season! Print your favorite TudyDoll Outfits and use stickers, glitter, ribbons, and any other craft material to style and embellish them. Glitter glue will add some bling to Tudy’s party clothes and shoes! And your favorite mini stickers will jump-start Tudy’s gym clothes or pjs! Or better yet, style your own Tudy Couture and be THE designer. It could be the start of something BIG!

Take Home Tudy's Room!

Its the perfect backdrop for your TudyDolls! Download the images, resize them to fit letter- or A4-size paper and print them using the best printer settings. Trim off the edges to fit a letter-size folder, which you can get from any stationery store. Glue them on the inside of the folder, making sure to align the two images. Decorate the images by adding your own pictures, stickers and other craft materials. Stand the folder up and you have a Tudy Room backdrop for your TudyDolls. And when you're done, keep your TudyDolls in your Tudy Room folder so they're ready whenever you want to play with them again!
