Hey mommas! Kristy from ScrapbookSteals here and I’m so excited today to bring to you a blog post sharing how much fun you can have with the little ladies in your lives with today’s steal, American Girl Crafts.
I was beyond thrilled when the KidSteals staff asked me if I’d like to get crafty. And my 10 year old? Well she was over the moon thrilled.
Tessa had a couple of friends over and they set about crafting up the tote bags. The directions were simple to follow and at least for my 10 year old there was no momma help needed!
The girls also loved being able to mix and match the flower combinations to create their very own custom bags.
Next the set about creating some darling headbands. After all, what little girl doesn’t want to look beautiful? Again, the instructions were easy to follow and they each got to create unique hair accessories for their own personal tastes.
Next came the jewelry. Again, the girls had a great time customizing their own pieces with the colored beads and the huge variety of rub on decorations. The part that I loved most? No mommy help needed!
Now if you think that American Girl crafts are only for those little ladies in your lives, then you’re wrong. My 15 year old and a couple of her friends came home from school and they wanted to get involved in the crafty fun as well. I turned them loose with the American Girls Craft glitter, and boy did they have fun. In fact they had so much fun that 5 days later I’m still sweeping up colorful sparkles off of my kitchen floor.
The girls also had fun pitching in together to design and create a unique wall canvas.
Truly a great crafty day! And now I have some great photos to scrapbook to preserve the memory.
Thanks to KidSteals for letting me share with you today. You momma’s should really pop on over to ScrapbookSteals if you haven’t already to be inspired with all sorts of crafty fun.
