Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'Are These Dolls Scary or Not?' (Part #343)
'Are These Dolls Scary or Not?'
Sometimes dolls have scary features. Usually, it is porcelain dolls that create odd feelings for me. Their dead-like appearance freaks me out. These ones, however scary appearing at the first sight, don't evoke any negative feelings. On the contrary, I don't mind being taken to their world of playful fantasy.
I wonder why these dolls with their uneven faces, straw hair and overall shabby look don't freak me out at all. Maybe it is the lack of reality dimension. These are highly stylized and, I believe, it takes the edge off. Good. :-)
You'll probably not believe that these were created by kindergarten children. That simple fact changes the point of view, right? I can imagine the efforts of their teacher who has probably spent days conceiving the idea and helping them make it. Well done!
I very much like the details. All of these figures have interesting distinguishing features. The colours are very vivid and leave a strong impact. Apart from human-like figures, there is also a pony and a baby in a cradle.
It is quite inspiring, to be honest. Maybe some of you decide to create your own dolls. It is not very difficult, so I've heard. Even kindergarten kids do it. :D
Enjoy your day! :-)

Children who have an interest in a particular activity can be included in various competitions, but the thing to note is to avoid coercion by parents, allowing children to follow activities without coercion.Praise and encouragement can be given to the child, the more praise the more the child will be confident. Avoid giving too much criticism or overly cursing children.Do not often blame the child, because by often blaming the child will make the child become afraid, motivate continue and ensure that the child will become.thanks to sharing for your great post of travelling..very well done..my dear friend. @velimir take care yourself and best of luck of your great work.
Avoid too many restrictions or restrictions that prevent children from playing and doing activities, let their curiosity develop which will make it easier to sharpen their creativity and confidence.
In addition to exploratory activities in play, children can be introduced early in the course of appropriate talents and interests of children such as an interest in sports and arts, encouraging children to see sports, theater, fashion shows, music and discussions with children so that children can know their interests in areas that they really like.

These dolls reminded me of the cartoon works that I saw on TV in the 90s. It was something between a cartoon and reality. That is, it does not look like what the children see now. Humanoid cartoon figures (usually people, less often animals or fictional characters) looked as if they were molded from the clay. Minimum graphics and maximum realism and manual work. Honestly admit these cartoons did not cause disgust, but on the contrary they were interesting.
The same thing I can say about these dolls. They do not impose disgust or fear. They caused me nostalgic memories. I do not know why, perhaps because of those cartoons. Nevertheless, the children made efforts and imagination to make them. This is respected. Especially considering the fact that modern children are seldom addicted to such creativity.
Thank you
Kindergartners? Really? I'm impressed. Seriously. I seem to remember a project from about then where my father asked what it was (a rabbit). He guessed dog and pony first :)
