Most paper dolls fall into one of the following categories:
Fashion Paper Dolls - Little girls and teenagers alike love fashion - and it is reflected in paper dolls that model fashions from all eras!
Baby & Small Child Paper Dolls - For most little girls playing with baby paper dolls was just as fun as playing with regular baby dolls!
Toy Doll Paper Dolls - Dolls that were popular were often reproduced as paper dolls as well - Barbie, Chatty Cathy, Betsy Wetsy, the list goes on and on!
Animated Character Paper Dolls - Much like today, popular animated characters (from Disney, Warner Bros., and others) were reproduced as toys of all kinds - including paper dolls, of course!
Celebrity Paper Dolls - Collecting paper dolls of the stars of television and movies is one of those fun cross-genre areas - if you have a favorite show, movie, character, actor or actress there is a good chance there is a paper doll out there for you to add to your collection!
Fantasy & Sci-Fi Paper Dolls - Fairies, mermaids, and dozens of other products of myth and imagination all have been represented in paper dolls!
