Toy Circus with Felt Animals and Pipe Cleaner Dolls McCALL Kaumagraph 1080

Bring the magic of the big top to life with McCall Kaumagraph 1080 – Toy Circus with Felt Animals and Pipe‑Cleaner Dolls. This vintage pattern set supplies everything you need to create a charming, hand‑crafted circus playset that fits neatly on a tabletop yet feels like “The Best Show on Earth.”

The pattern contains full‑size sheets and step‑by‑step directions for assembling a 12½‑inch circus wagon (built from two shoe boxes and cereal‑box wheels), a 15‑inch‑diameter circus ring, a tiered spectator stand, a clown, a daring bareback rider, and a ten‑animal menagerie. Each two‑piece animal—mother and baby elephants, giraffe, kangaroo, lion, camel, seal, donkey, and horse—stitches up quickly from scraps of brightly colored felt or oilcloth. Cotton batting gives them shape while No. 3 lead dress weights hidden in the base keep them proudly upright. The clown and dancer are twisted from pipe cleaners, topped with embroidered muslin heads and wool wigs for unmistakable mid‑century charm.

Whether you’re searching for a nostalgic gift, a rainy‑day project, or an heirloom toy that sparks imaginative play, McCall Kaumagraph 1080 delivers a complete, budget‑friendly circus experience in one delightful vintage package.
