DLTK's Crafts for Kids
USA Friends

I've had requests from a variety of people to turn some of the more popular "Favorite Friends" into holiday characters.  Rather than doing each one separately, I've provided a template of clothes and accessories that you can add to most of the Favorite Friends or Animal tp roll crafts.  So, make yourself one of about 100 possible Independence Day tp roll critters like Blue's Clues, Scooby Doo, Pikachu, a mouse, a hippo,... you get the idea!
