Dopey is one of the seven dwarves in the Disney animated classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. He’s doesn’t speak, but he always smiles.

He climbs onto Sneezy’s shoulders while wearing a long cloak to be tall enough to dance with Snow White, and together they dance to the Silly Song. Apply mascara to achieve his long lashes, and apply pink blush to your nose. Then sew or glue two yellow buttons down the front of the sweater.
