APPLE DOLLS—Janice King and, David Scott stand beside some of the costumed dolls
they and other members of their Grade 5-6 class at Wingham Public School made recent=--
ly. The two explained the heads of the dolls are made from dried, peeled apples, with the
noses and other features shaped while the apples are drying. The bodies can be stuffed or
made from a bottle, while pipe cleaners work well for arms. They said some students
dressed their dolls with Barbi-doll clothes and others made their own .costumes. The apple
dolls were an art project assigned by their teacher, Mrs. Dorothy Thornton, who had "a
couple of her own on display also. They can be seen in the trophy case across from the
school gym.
