Our Generation makes some really neat and well priced accessory set for the 18″ dolls and you can find them primarily at Target stores.

As we get closer and closer to the 100th day of doll play, the harder it gets for me to look back on this fabulous summer and pick my favorite activities from this series, however, today’s activity will definitely end up being one of my personal favorites.

When do you go back to school? My kids go back next week and for an end of vacation activity our dolls are having a big sleepover party brought to you by our friends at MyDollsLife.com (they are the retail division of Sophia’s so I often use them interchangeably). Now let me warn you, this [...]
Even though most 18″ play dolls are modeled as 9-12 year olds, one of the most popular play activities for our dolls is driving around the house going from adventure to adventure. Until recently the preferred method of transportation was the red plush convertible for the Build-a-Bears which just so happens to fit two 18″ [...]
Happy Friday! Like last week, Karen’s Friday doll craft post and a doll day of play are being combined because I am enjoying some time off and vacationing with my family. On a side note, I can not believe we are down to the last 30 days of doll play!! I still have some great [...]
Sorry for the delay today – I have been a little distracted (ok, that is an understatement) with the Olympics today. Anyhow, I have wanted to make a table lamp for our dolls for a while, but honestly, I have had a rough time making it work. Finally today, while trying again, I figured out [...]

Last year’s American Girl of the Year, Kanani, was from Hawaii and her whole collection was a hit – so much so that much of it sold out. Lucky for fans all over, today’s sponsor The Queen’s Treasures’ Coconut Smoothie stand for dolls is still available and continues to be one of the most played [...]
This weekend is a pretty big deal in England – they are celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee – a celebration of her 60 years (and counting) as the Queen of England. Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 and became the Queen in 1952 at the age of 25 after the death of her [...]
When I visited the Sophia’s Heritage booth at ToyFair this year I was completely overwhelmed by the variety of clothes, furniture pieces and accessories they have for 18″ dolls.
