A crime scene in Class 1

When Class 1 returned from completing their morning run, they found a number of mysterious objects in the classroom.

They found:

Three bowls of porridge – one big, one medium, one small
Three chairs and one was broken!
A baby-sized bed
A curl of blonde hair
A yellow dress
A doll

The evidence was collected and the police were informed but the question remained – who could have caused this mess?!
