Thinking of something for chidren reminds me of when I was young ... (born London in 1939).

One of Dad's friends in Canada used to send us various newspapers, from which my sister would cut the paper dolls and clothes (attached to the dolls with tabs) and then get me to colour the dresses and then help her dress the dolls. Seems to me that's why I'm still 'dressing dolls' ...

[And there were the cartoon strips - Lil Abner, Flash Gordon and others I've forgotten.] He also sent the Saturday Evening post, which I loved.
