Sara Shabir is a third-grade teacher at Tyndale Community School. According to the Oxford Mail, Shabir's inspiration for the project came from her deep affection for her students and her desire to give them a memorable and special gift.

"The idea came from me just wanting to do something special and exciting for my class whom I adore," she shared with the news outlet.

Shabir, who taught herself to crochet during the Covid lockdown, explained that the project was also a way for her to enhance her crocheting skills.

"I learned to crochet - self-taught - during the Covid lockdown and have been creating things since then, so I wanted to push myself and make these dolls to build my own skills as a crocheter," she said.

One appreciative parent took to social media platform X to share a photo of the dolls, praising Shabir's dedication and creativity.

"My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end-of-year gift. Approx. 8 hours per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend," the parent wrote.
