Scavenger Hunt: For You, By AG

Heyy! Today I want to share a fun scavenger hunt with you :)  This one is for You, and in the future I'll have doll-related ones. The reason I am sharing this is because it came out of the American Girl Book Giggles & Games. Here is what the book looks like.
I was going through my AG books the other day, came across it, and decided to share the Scavenger Hunt with you!
Since it was raining today where I live, I though I'd share the Rainy Day Hunt with you :)













Rainy Day Hunt:
Something Purple
a hat
something musical
dice
something gold
stuffed animal
thread that is not black or white
a postcard
a marker or pen
lace
something more than 30 years old
something with a price tag still on it
something with 4 wheels
a picture of an animal
a picture of a baby
something made of rubber
a pair of sunglasses
something with a heart on it
something that bounces
a book with more than 300 pages

There are 20 items on this list. You could copy this onto Word (Or Pages, Google Docs, etc) and print out a few copies to play with family and friends. Have fun!
Bye!

New MAG Items Out!!

Heyy! I'm soooo excited for the new AG items! There is one new doll and she is #58. She has dark skin, curly dark brown hair, and brown eyes. 
Here she is!
They also updated the outfit MAG's come in, it's called True Spirit Outfit and don't worry Innerstar U is still up and running! She comes with this outfit, codes for Innerstar U, and a charm keeper necklace.
Now, the rest of the MAG items. After, I'll show the GOTY & Historical new items in a new post

True Spirit Accessories for Dolls
This has a cute cropped jacket, pink hat, purse, InnerstarU library card, and three pretend dollars!

True Spirit Outfit for Girls
Dress Like Your Doll with this new look-alike set to match the MAG outfit. This has a cute pink top, gray skort with double ribbon around the waist, and a pink hat. This top comes in sizes XS to XL, the skort XS to L, and the hat is one size fits all.

Sweet Savannah Dress for Dolls + Charm
This comes with a headband, dress, and black flats. The leopard-print dress has a ruffle on the front. The Brave square charm comes with this outfit.

Sweet Savannah Outfit for Girls
The matching dress and matching headband! AG came out with the headband, something that they don't usually do, to match your doll. The sizes are 6 through 16.

Butterfly Twist Dress for Dolls + Charm
This comes with a dress with an embroidered butterfly, purple boots, and a pink headband. This comes with the Strong rectangle charm.

Butterfly Twist Dress for Girls
Once again, you can dress like your doll with the matching dress. This one come in sizes 6 through 16.

Allergy-Free Lunch
This set comes with allergy stickers, two sandwich "kabobs", a medical bracelt, berry smoothie, veggies, a fabric "snack sack", and pretend allergy shot.

There are also all six titles of her books and Paper Dolls book. There is also her boxed set and Color and Craft book! You can click on them to see this outline of her. She might have a little curl in her hair, if you look at the picture.It could also be straight, though. Her hair looks like it will at least come down do her shoulders in this outline.

Read-a-Palooza

   Heyy, I would like to share some exciting news with you!  ......American Girl is hosting a Read-a-Palooza "event" where every book you buy from AG, they donate $1 to Save the Children's U.S. Literacy Program, as part of their Shine On Now program where AG helps and gives back to charities and foundations. It goes to a great cause and takes place until September 3! It started on May 1st. Buy purchasing a book online, or a store from American Girl you get to help out :)
Here is a link to the special website for Read-a-Palooza: http://www.americangirl.com/reading/
You can print out bookmarks, book club information on how to start a book club and other materials, and fun puzzles. There are also some quizzes to do! This gets me even more excited about getting some new books over the summer.
Here are some AG books I would like to get:

Julie Boxed Set with Game  ~ I have Julie and would like to read her books. Hopefully I can get this soon!



A Smart Girl's Guide to Liking Herself ~ This sounds like a great book! I have a few of the "Smart Girl's Guide to...." and they are really helpful!



Clutter Control ~ This would be a good book for me :) It has fun and cool ways to organize your room, locker, and other places where the clutter could get out of hand.





Lists! A Year of Stuff About Me ~ This book looks so cool! I think it would be fun to fill out all the information and be able to look at it later.





Skin and Nails ~ I think that I would enjoy looking through this book and learning more information about your nails and skin.



Spa Fun ~ This book looks awesome! Homemade spa treatments and pampering sound good to me! :)


These are some of the books I would like to get.
To make your own "AG Book Wishlist" check out the American Girl website bookstore to see all the books, kits, and activity books American Girl has available .  http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/static/books.jsp
