Every Hitty website needs an activities page. Here you will find a variety of fun things to do such as tutorials, sewing patterns, and a listing of all the posts with Hitty or Kitty, in order of appearance. You can scroll through this page to reread old posts or view those that you may have missed. The first ever coloring page from A Tale of Two Hittys is available now for you to download and print for free. You can also create your very own mini books for Hitty, make a mini quill pen and inkwell, make jewelry for your dolls, and more! I will be uploading other fun activities as I get them completed.
