Practically anything you will need to create your own school is included in this kit either in the book with ideas, or the kit itself.

As a new teacher there are plenty of supplies needed to set up your classroom. The doll school craft kits comes with maps, charts, stickers, files for worksheets, make your own books, learn to write practice sheets, awards, reward stickers, file folders, subject books, attendance and grade book, spelling tests, report cards, teacher's manual, flashcards, story starters and crayon box.

For added fun there is are projects for a music area, library books, classmates photos, design a locker, lunchroom and hall passes. I would photo copy the items before using them so you can create more for additional students.

The easel isn't the best, but it's workable. Use it for the chalkboard that is reversible to a dry erase board (be sure not to use permanent markers).

Review of AG Doll Dining craft kit.

A look inside the book and kit.

Doll Dining kit contents.

Book review.

Since I was a little girl I have always wanted to design or create my own things. Whatever was at my disposal I would use to create some sort of project.

My father once accused me of being a pack rat. When I disagreed he then questioned why I was collecting gum wrappers. It was for making colorful chains of course! The best ones were from Juicy Fruit and Fruit Stripes gum.

A teacher can find all sorts of things to make class projects from when challenged, especially in Art.

A young mind is a wonderful playing field for the imagination to create. The AG Craft Kit comes with an assortment of supplies for your child to make dozens of things to show off her talent.

The book describes how to make all the crafts. Inside there is a note pad, wrapping paper, all sorts of papers with designs for the various projects for the dolls.

Make a checker board game, gift tags for the things you make to give away, file folders in assorted colors, assorted cards, clock face, picture frame, gift boxes, flowers, tissue box, foam board, cork board, cardboard, money cards, envelopes, pencil wraps, purse, wallet, desk blotter, stickers, posters and more items to make all these projects.

She then shows how to make some of the projects.

Part 2 Art supplies and making a jump rope.

Child describes everything that comes in the kit. This is part 1.

Deciding what career to pursue is a big thing for a girl. My sisters and I pretended to be practically everything a little girl can image, including being detectives. We would hide my brother under the front porch and pretend our headquarters were on the side porch. He would be our spy in captivity and we would feed him peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Now don't get excited, it was an open porch with lattice and he also had tons of trucks to play with as we checked HQ for details.

Besides the normal teacher/classroom pretend playtime we also stepped into the fantasy worlds of dancers, singers, actors, restaurant owners and flight attendants. I better not forget bride (never a bridesmaid) though.

Discover your child's ambitions as she dabbles in various interests on the path to an exciting career as an adult. Her interests might take her into banking or office executive, caterer, flower shop owner, community worker or advisor.

See what comes with this kit and the projects your child can make for her AG doll.

Review on the craft kit.

American Girl doll and work craft kit.

Your new kit will include information and supplies for setting up a business Inside this book; A doll T-shirt that has the printed words "No job is too small" on the front. You'll learn how your doll can start a business or just serve her community.

By the time I entered high school my interests for a career had become divided. Although I longed to teach, I also wanted to travel the world.

The interview and everything else went great, but one thing changed. My decision was sort of made for me when I failed to meet the required height for being a flight attendant.

Even though I didn't get to travel the way I first wanted, my desire has never left. If your child has an interest in seeing the world, this kit will give her a glimpse of what could be a part of her future.

A real map of London and Paris, deck of cards, passport, zip close travel bag and directions for events that she might like to do are included in this package. How to make a magazine, travel agency posters, foregin money, gps, iPod, stickers, post cards, airline ticket are also part of the fun in Travel Craft Kit.

Books gives instructions for traveling and what to bring for your doll.

Little girls enjoy hours of playing make-overs as they create new hair "dos" for their friends, family, dolls and even pets. For some that passion never leaves them.

When I was in 9th grade there was a girl in one of my classes that would always be messing with my hair. She would give anyone a new hair style if they allowed her to practice on them for her beauty school classes. I was the perfect candidate because she could create a ton of style on my long hair.

Give your child the tools she needs to become a hair design expert with this kit. She'll love the hairstyling ideas, salon accessories and case that actually converts into the styling center.

See all the fun your girl can have creating new hair styles on her doll.

Practice makes perfect as your doll's hair is transformed into beautiful new styles.

Cutting and pasting a few pictures here and there is a thing of the past with today's scrap bookers.

The modern day method is to actually create masterpieces for each page with original ideas using stickers, letters, photos, jewelry, swatches of material, beads, paint and anything that captures the imagination.

Each child has a vision of what they want to design and with the right ingredients what they see in their minds becomes reality on the simple piece of paper.

So much happens in the life of a child, and AG scrapbooking kits can help them capture their exciting memories. Using the idea booklet the girls can create pages with items like postcards, certificates, movie tickets or other mini products that resemble an event.

Ideas and supplies for making the dream scrapbook.

Bake her a cake, take her to a movie, make an animal clinic for her pet, bowling party, make her a watch, It's one of the less expensive craft books in this line, but all the activities make it worth getting. If you don't think so, ask your child!

Girl discusses all the activities in this book.

More of a review about all the activities in this craft book.

I may not have had a pet when I was a child, but that never stopped me from wanting one. That's probably true for most kids. American Girl Dolls also feel the same way and many have their own pet.

With pets comes responsibility and American Girls know that and take the role of pet owner seriously. Each of the American girl pets packages come with a spiral bound book that is full of fun, easy to follow activities for your child to do with their doll and doll's pet.
