The Dance Star Paper Doll Book has Arrived!

I’m absolutely delighted to share the news that my newest paper doll book, the Dance Star, is now available. This is Paper Doll Book 4 in the series, designed by me and printed in Waterford City, Ireland. If you have a little dancer in your life, or you fondly remember cutting out paper dolls yourself, this one is an absolute treat and great gift for Christmas or any time of the year.

The Dance Star paper Doll Book is packed with all things dance related and full of fun. Inside the 16-page activity book you will find one full colour paper doll that you cut out and simply construct to stand, and a massive collection of 34 outfits and accessories to colour in, cut out and style the paper doll in. Your doll can step into Irish dancing, ballet, ballroom, the Cha Cha Cha, hip hop costumes and even take to the stage in the theatre for a bit of tap dancing. The book includes simple instructions on how to put the doll together, prepare the outfits and dress her up for her next big performance.

The Dance Star Paper Doll Book was the top selling book at GIFTED, the contemporary craft and design fair in the RDS this December 2025. It is suitable for children aged 5 to 12 years old, and to be honest, plenty of older kids at heart have told me they love it too. It is a lovely mix of mindful, screen-free entertainment and pure nostalgic joy.

Paper dolls are making a comeback, and I love seeing people rediscover the fun of them again. If you want to spark creativity and imagination, the Dance Star book and the whole collection including the Sports Star, Popstar and Superhero paper doll books, make brilliant birthday or Christmas gifts. They are available online at www.paperdollbooks.com, or you can pick them up in person at the Waterford Crafts Christmas Craft Fair in Garter Lane Arts Centre, open every day up to the 22nd of December, and CC Creatives the Quay, Waterford.

I will also be at the craft market in Ormond Castle, Carrick-on-Suir this Saturday the 13th of December from 1 to 7pm, so pop by for a chat and a browse. Share the joy you remember and give someone a nostalgic paper doll they’ll treasure.
