moulded bear suit with cute little ears.
This doll is really easy to paint and make, and is perfect in a dolls house playing in the
nursery, in a shadow box scene, as an accessory doll for your larger dolls or why not make Sweetie Bear as a stocking filler this Christmas for your family & friends. |
