    Was there ever a child version of the 1940s paper dolls “Pat Pam Sue Ann”? My mother is 84 and losing her memory, but she thinks she had a set of paper dolls as a girl, that were children, maybe even babies that were named “Pat Pam Sue Ann”. i am sure the names are right, because she named my sister and I after them, Patricia Ann & Pamela Sue, but I cannot find a child version of Paper dolls with those names, all I find are the young lady “models” thanks for your help!

      What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing. I dont think there is a kids variation of this set.

    Was there ever a version of “Pat Pam Sue Ann” paper dolls where they were children?
