Hello. Florabunda the chief small doll here. Welcome to my web page. I've got stories for kids, sewing and craft projects. Put your cursor over one of the dolls to learn more about her. Have fun reading and working on the projects. And, look for fun surprises on this page.
Stories for Kids
Reading is one of my favorite activities. I like to relax with a good book in my study. Here are some short stories for kids.
Problems with Babysitters
When is a person too old to need a babysitter? Florabunda is certain that she doesn't need one. How can a responsible person prove that she shouldn't be babysat?
Problems with Babysitters
tells how Florabunda, Tender Heart and Twinkle, handle the problems they have with babysitters.
Florabunda and the Dancing Sleepover
A famous fairy tale begins like this:
Once upon a time there was a king who had twelve daughters.... They slept together in one room.... At night when they were lying there, the king closed their door and barred it. However, when he opened it the next morning he saw that their shoes had been danced to pieces.
The name of the story is The Shoes that were Danced to Pieces.
You can find it in Grimm's Fairy Tales. At the end of the story everyone lives happily, until many years later, when twelve young princesses take a field trip to the sites of the famous story. Princess Florabunda and the Dancing Sleepover
tells the story of the new adventure.
