Princess Gown and Cone Hat for Dora the Explorer

A cheerful girl in a long princess gown stands with both arms stretched out and her hands open wide. She has a bob haircut with straight bangs, big round eyes, and an open smiling mouth. On her head is a tall cone hat with a small flower on the band, and a long curly ponytail swirls out behind her in big loops. Her dress has puffy sleeves, a crisscross diamond pattern on the bodice, a beaded necklace, and a bracelet on one wrist. The full skirt has gathered folds and stripes along the hem. Try coloring the diamond bodice in two alternating shades, then let kids pick bright colors for the flower and beads. The large open areas in the skirt are good for younger children using crayons.
