Kaya’s life as a Native American in 1764 will be explored by creating traditional artwork and jewelry. Students will prepare for Christmastime in 1854 with Kirsten, learning about her St. Lucia holiday and making a St. Lucia wreath and gown. Dolls welcome!

Session III: Jan. 18 – March 8

Lights, Camera, Action

We know the story of the American Girls Molly, who loves to perform, and Rebecca, who dreams of becoming an actress so she can sing and dance…and we’re pretty sure they have something in common with you and your doll! In this workshop, we will create a doll-sized stage, complete with curtains and backdrops to change. We will make props and costumes, all perfect for the doll who likes to perform! The workshop will end with a performance. Bring your doll!

Session IV: March 15 – May 10 (no class 4/19)

Outdoor, Explore!

There is a new American Girl in town and her name is Lanie. She loves the outdoors, just like you! In this workshop we will make a hammock or sleeping bag that’s just the right size for your doll. We’ll create puffball animals and matching doll and girl T-shirts! You will also learn about the Victory Gardens that kids like Molly planted in 1944, then you’ll get to plant your own. Bring your doll and enjoy the outdoor fun!
