Happy New Year, 2018 is off to a great start with the introduction today of Luciana Vega. I am really impressed with American Girl for this years GOTY. What most impresses me is that I feel like American Girl has seen past the traditional idea of what little girls want and has started to catch up to today's modern tween. That being said the price point of American Girl does put much of the collection out ot reach of the average tween family budget but they have taken steps that I believe are valuable with their American Girl Book line.
These type of dook kits are some of the best things American Girl has published in the last few years. These are often priced around $25 and contain wonderful crafts and doll play ideas that get creativity pumping and girls thinking and playing. Gone are the days of just playing mommy or doing dolls hair, we are now moving in the direction that tweens are in ways of science, conservation, art and sport. I have to say Well done American Girl this is a doll lovers dream come true and a delight to see. The book description is shown below and you can click it for the amazon listing. ( I am not an amazon affiliate, I make no money if you do)
"Every girl has a dream job. Whether it’s to be an astronaut, toy engineer, veterinarian, paleontologist, or an architect, the sky is the limit! In this book, girls will learn some of the fun ways they and their doll can learn and play in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. Crafts include a spacesuit, stethoscope, drafting desk, large telescope, soundboard, safety goggles, model home out of craft sticks, head lamp, and a magnifying glass."
Welcome 2018, we hope that you are off to a great start and that you will continue to inspire us to strive for greatness and reaching our full potential.
