Playtime Ice Skating Paper Dolls
Our Playtime Ice Skating Paper Dolls are lacing up their skates and practicing dazzling routines on the ice. Whether they are performing in a fun exhibition or competing for a medal, these skaters are ready to shine. You can dress a pair for a synchronized routine or create single skaters in men and women styles. Best of all, kids can design their own costumes for even more creative fun.
This printable paper doll activity is perfect for winter classroom activities, indoor play days, and creative afternoons at home.
Fun Fact
Although skating began in Europe, modern figure skating traces its roots to an American named Jackson Haines. Born in New York in 1840, Haines brought graceful dance movements to the ice and helped shape the sport we recognize today. Source:Â US Figure Skating – History of Figure Skating
