Shugo Chara Sugarbaby

Okay, so it's a temporary doll, but my daughter loves it so much that she said she wants to keep it forever.  Maybe we'll make a hole in the bottom and dump the sugar out and stuff it with newspaper or something when the assignment is over.





If you don't know what a sugar baby is, it's a 5 pound bag of sugar decorated to look like a baby.  The students (6th graders) have to carry it around for a week and take care of it like they would a real baby.  They get docked points if the baby is damaged at all. 

My daughter loves the anime Shugo Chara, so this is a chibi version of Amu, the main character. She made the skirt and drew the face.  I helped with the hat, hair, and tie.

So what do you think of my new grandbaby?

Adorable! I used to carry around sugar bags and milk bags and pretend they were my baby when I was younger. They never looked this real though.
