How to print: print both pages at 100% ("actual size") on Letter or A4, so the clothes fit the doll. Cardstock (65 lb / 176 gsm) keeps the doll standing; clothes are fine on regular paper.
Black & white version — color it yourself
The same doll and clothes as black-and-white line art, all 2 pages: color the outfits in any pattern you like, then cut them out and dress the doll exactly like the color version. Same size, same tabs — and it works on any printer.

Page 2 comes in the same PDF as the doll, so one download gives you both. Every piece is drawn to the same scale and fits the doll on page 1: cut around the outline, keep the white tabs and fold them behind the doll.

About this design
Page 1 has the duck, a striped swimsuit with shell trim, a pink daisy sundress with a green bow, a yellow lemon dress, green gingham overalls, a straw hat with daisies, a basket bag and a green hair bow. Page 2 adds a lilac sundress with buttons, a shell tee with denim shorts, a floral halter swimsuit, a yellow tiered dress with a pink sash and a pink shell-print sarong to tie over the swimsuits.
How to make it
Print both pages at 100%. Cut out the doll first and glue it onto a piece of cereal-box card if you printed on plain paper. Cut out each outfit along its outline, keeping the white tabs; put it on the doll and fold the tabs behind the shoulders and sides. Store the clothes in an envelope or a zip bag so nothing gets lost.
Ideas for this page
- Cut a beach from blue and yellow paper and make a summer scene for the duck.
- The sarong goes over either swimsuit — fold its tabs around the duck's waist.
- Pack the wardrobe in a zip bag for car trips: no glue, no mess.
Questions
Is this a good set for the summer holidays?
Yes — it is a quiet activity that travels well. Print it before you leave and pack scissors and an envelope.
