My Raggedy Stories Dollies Free Coloring Pages E-Books

I know you won't be surprised by the fact that I love everything and anything concerning dolls, books, reading and history. 

I was introduced to books early on by my Grandmother - especially books about dolls.  I would sit in her lap while she was sitting in her rocking chair and she would read the stories to me.  I loved the stories and loved holding my own "dollies" as we sat there rocking.

When primitive cloth dolls - especially "raggedies" (which are versions of Raggedy Ann dolls) became all the rage two decades ago I was thrilled.  Around this same time primitive decor was gaining in popularity online which created a ton of primitive websites, blogs, and groups. It seemed there were primitives everywhere and no shortage of freebies for creating all sorts of primitive cloth dolls and crafts for home decor, but especially "raggedies."

So, given how much I love history and old books I decided to see if there was a copy of some of the old "Raggedy Ann" books out there on Project Gutenberg which displays books that are in the public domain.  To my delight there was a "Raggedy Ann Stories"  e-book written in 1918 and a "Raggedy Andy Stories" e-book written in 1920 that were now in the public domain.

I found most of the doll illustrations by Johnny Gruelle to be charming and decided I would remove the backgrounds from some of the illustrations and create free black/white coloring pages inspired by the illustrations from the free e-books so all the little girls and grown-up girls could enjoy coloring images of their favorite dolls together.  I posted about both the two groups I created here and here.

You can get all the free coloring pages I created from my two Linda's Blog posts but I thought you might appreciate two free .pdf e-books that you could save and download to your computer.  So, I created two free Raggedy Stories Dollies Free Coloring Pages E-books as well. 

My first free coloring pages e-book contains contains twenty-seven individual 8 1/2" by 11" coloring pages.

Original Raggedy Stories Dolls - Ann and Andy Illustrations Free Reversible Mixed Media, Collage and Scrapbook Images

I don't know about the rest of you, but when I find something I like I tend to get a lot of crafting ideas for what I can make with it and I look for other things I can utilize as well.  

Such was the case with the Harper's Young People Illustrations Book from 1889 that I found in my home last fall.  I didn't have any other old books like that around so after finding that and the wonderful old illustrations I could use for ephemeral collage purposes I decided to see if there were any other old books with illustrations I could find online.  To my delight The Project Gutenberg website had a lot of old public domain books they had created free ebooks for.  

So, I started searching for old books on dolls and found a copy of some of the old "Raggedy Ann" books out there that are in the public domain.  I found two: 1) "Raggedy Ann Stories" written in 1918 by Johnny Gruelle ebook and 2)  "Raggedy Andy Stories"written in 1920 by Johnny Gruelle ebook.

When I had found the "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland"free ebooks that were in the public domain I decided to create e-printable sheets for my own mixed media, collage and scrapbook purposes for the illustrations that I liked.  After doing that I decided to create some free reversible sheets so all the "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" crafters who dabble in mixed media, collage, scrapbook and paper crafts could utilize them as well.

This time I decided to take all the illustrations I had captured from the "Raggedy Stories Dolls - Ann and Raggedy Stories Doll - Andy" by Johnny Gruelle free e-books that I liked and create reversible E-printable sheets of the original graphic illustrations as well as removing the backgrounds from some of the illustrations and creating separate graphics that you could use for your crafting needs.

There are so many uses for the illustrations and graphics.  If you want to create a stand-able character that you can use in a diorama or mixed media 3D type creation you can cut out the two images and paste them back to back or paste to heavy paper or chipboard.

Raggedy Stories Dollies Inspired Free Coloring Pages Group #1

"Raggedy Ann" has probably been one of the most popular cloth dolls for little girls for decades since she was introduced to the world by Johnny Gruelle in 1918.

So, of course, when primitive cloth dolls - especially "raggedies" (which are versions of Raggedy Ann dolls) became all the rage two decades ago I was thrilled.  Around this same time primitive decor was all the rage and gaining in popularity online which created a ton of primitive websites, blogs, and groups. It seemed there were primitives everywhere and no shortage of freebies for creating all sorts of primitive cloth dolls and crafts for home decor, but especially "raggedies."

So, given how much I love history and old books I decided to see if there was a copy of some of the old "Raggedy Ann" books out there on Project Gutenberg which displays books that are in the public domain.  To my delight there was a "Raggedy Ann Stories"  e-book written in 1918 and a "Raggedy Andy Stories" e-book written in 1920 that were now in the public domain.

While the Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy stories are a product of their time, I found the doll illustrations by Johnny Gruelle to be charming as, of course, they depicted all sorts of "dollies" at play.  So, I decided I would create free coloring pages, inspired by these illustrations from the 1918 free e-book, so all the little girls and grown-up girls could enjoy coloring images of their favorite "dollies."  Kind of like a shared young and old experience.
