Welcome!

I saw this idea for making wooden dolls on Grace Lin's Pocket Pacy blog. I decided to make my own, because it looked fun. I am calling them passing dolls because if you are given one of my dolls I would like you to take them somewhere and then pass them on to someone else for another journey. If you are willing to share the journey on this blog, please take a picture of you and the doll on your trip and send it to passingdolls@gmail.com with a description and I will post it here on my blog. Thanks!

Fuji-San


Mt. Fuji is an active volcano.  The last time it erupted was 1707.  It is the tallest mountain in Japan.  People climb Mt. Fuji and often start at night to get a better view of the sunrise.  Japan's nickname is "Land of the Rising Sun."
Yuki is by a flower on a green tea plant.  Green tea is very healthy to drink.  Everyday Yuki and her friends were served green tea on their tour.

Green tea grows well here at the foot of Mt. Fuji because of the weather.

Yuki at Edo Museum


This is Yuki in one of the rooms in the Edo Castle Model.  She learned all about how people lived long ago at the Edo-Tokyo Museum.  This area was called Edo long ago until they changed it to Tokyo.


This bell is also at Edo Museum.  It is used to ring in each hour of the day.
