Doll Cradle Project - 2016

Cradle Video From Touchmark

Each year the Touchmark retirement community in Bend does a Christmas project for 40 children, providing them with a toy. This year they are looking for help to build 20 doll cradles for the girls. I might add that the children they service either have no parents or are mostly without their parents.

They have community members that are making quilts for each cradle, and others that are purchasing dolls for them. They would like us to make the cradles and let them sand and paint them. They would like to receive these cradles by the end of October.

Below is a picture of the cradle and the plans to make it. The cradle takes one 8 foot 1 x 12 to make. You can download and print the plans from the links below.
