How to make the thermometer

2. Cut 1" strip of paper along the long side (11" long)

3. Wrap paper tightly around craft stick and glue last 1"

 

4. Fill one end of wrapped craft stick with hot glue and form a rounded end

5. Glue nail into middle of other end

6. Cover nail with hot glue and form a V shape to handle

7. Cover with acrylic paint

8. You can either download and print the display (in Fahrenheit and Celsius provided) or
    you can draw it with permanent marker
    You could put the normal temperature on one side and fever temperature on the other side.
    That way you doll can be sick or healthy.
