Cut little one-piece dresses for them. They are really too small to wear anything fancy. A nice way to trim the dresses is to paste very narrow cotton lace around neckline and bottoms of sleeves. If the lace you have is too wide, cut it to the width you need. Use glue for pasting it down. Tie a piece of colored yarn around the waist to pull in the fullness of the dress. Paint socks and shoes on with poster paint.
