Here is a video of our trip to American Girl Atlanta. We went for our birthdays. I got Ivy and my sister got Ruthie. It was really fun and the sales people were really nice. There was a ton to do in Atlanta. If you visit the Atlanta store you may want to check out Stone Mountain and the aquarium while you're in town. We were there for a few days and we got to go to all three places. There are some other places that we didn't have time to visit but it was a super fun trip.
Please have your parent or guardian's approval before doing any of these crafts. Adult supervision is recommended.

Sugar Cookies - Perfect for Valentine's Day
My little sister did this video on how to make sugar cookies with felt, glue, and glitter.
If you want them to be more sturdy and take less time to dry you can use a hot glue gun. Put the hot glue on the cookies like icing. Then sprinkle the glitter on.

Toasty Marshmallows on a stick!
Another item to add to your campfire... marshmallows on a stick!
You'll need some foam marshmallows from the craft store and a few twigs from your yard. You can glue them on if you want them to stay on. My mom cut some with a razor and I cut some with scissors.

Tasty treats for your campfire!
What would a campfire be without s'mores?
You'll need some foam sheets, scissors, and glue dots or a hot glue gun! That's it.

American Girl Apron Craft
My mom teaches an American Girl group where we study each doll's time and do a craft to go with the study. For Kit Kittredge we made aprons. My mom drew a pattern by looking at this ad from the 1930's.
Here are pictures of the aprons. If you stretch to cover an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper then it should print the right size.
You can right click it and save the picture. If you open it in Windows Photo Gallery, you can click print and stretch to fit. It prints perfect that way.

Here is a video tutorial of me using the scalloped apron pattern to make an apron.
