The Perfect Gift for Girls Who Love to Teach

Doll School: For Girls Who Love to Teach! (American Girl)
Yesterday while I was at Michael’s Craft Store trying to scope out the new American Girl Craft line (which they had in the back but hadn’t finished putting out yet) I picked up the Doll School: For Girls Who Love to Teach! (American Girl) set for my girls. They love these sets from American Girl, but this one has the best play value of any of them.

As soon as we got home they immediately started setting it up and continued to play with it for another 2 hours until I said it was bedtime. It is a great companion for the desk set, too!

The 34-piece set contains everything a girl needs to set up her own doll classroom – including:

  • 32 page how to book
  • chalkboard/whiteboard
  • sticker sheets
  • the Rebecca mini book
  • a grade book
  • alphabet/handwriting banner
  • 2 posters
  • easel
  • world map
  • locker door
  • fake library books
  • 21 pages of teaching supplies like folders, journals, report cards, hall passes, class photos, art supplies and more

Doll School: For Girls Who Love to Teach! (American Girl) is about $15 (depending on where you get it) and makes a great birthday or holiday gift for any doll lover. It definitely will be on my Doll Diaries Best Doll Gifts list once I have it ready!!

  22. Alex on November 8th, 2009 8:36 pm

    i have a question. ill be ?? on the 26th (yes thanksgiving!), and my room is starting to get pretty cluttered. in order to have a party, i have 2 clean it, and my doll stuff takes up ALOT of my room….i even have that giant white furniture piece that holds alot, and i still am having trouble…. how do you guys store your ag dolls and stuff. and yea, alot of it is in my closet already.

  23. pioneerfan04 on November 8th, 2009 9:19 pm

    Lex– have you tried getting some shelves? I mean, like the really tall kind. IOt works like MAGIC! Also, you can get a box (if you want a new craft to do) and transform it into a wardrobe for your dolls’ clothes! It’s very fun! :D

  24. pioneerfan04 on November 8th, 2009 9:20 pm

    This doll school book is on my birthday wishlist DEFINITELY! It looks sooo cute! Thanks for the info, Char! :)

  25. Lena on November 9th, 2009 4:41 pm

    Alex, like pioneer said, shelves are your friends. I have all my display dolls on mine, and I’ve even used one for a room for Helena and Kit to share.

  26. Giada on November 10th, 2009 8:00 pm

    Try getting little boxes and stuff for doll clothes and accessories.

  31. Lori on November 12th, 2009 3:17 pm

    My daughter got this as a birthday gift this past weekend. We love it. I love all the neat stuff that was included, along with a book for even more DIY ideas! If you have a color printer I suggest you make copies of some of the stuff, like the milk carton & crayons so all the dolls can have some! Hours of fun!

  53. Sara on November 15th, 2009 4:10 pm

    Hey evry1! Wow! How long has it been since I’ve been on? (only a few days!) So, I went on a Lock-in w/ my youth group and stayed up ALL NITE! Really wat I did was walked, talked, ate (they had A LOT of food!!), swam (we were indoors! And we went @ 3:00 am!!), played some games, but mostly, helped my youth leader clean up. She was in charge of the Service Project and it had to deal w/ pipe cleaners, beads, paper, etc. So after every group was done, I helped her clean up. Then after EVRY1 was done, I helped her get the stuff in her car. And I didn’t fall asleep once! But then my body gave out in my dad’s car! I was surprised that I didn’t fall asleep in my youth leader’s car! So while y’all were sleeping, I was being active!

  54. Sallie on November 16th, 2009 8:00 pm

    Ican imagine that for me. OMYGOSH, Partying!!! Clean up time! ZZZ!

  55. pioneerfan04 on November 16th, 2009 9:58 pm

    Sara– that sounds like so much fun! I want to go to a lock in so bad!

    Giada– I have:

    Kirsten
    Nellie
    Nicki
    Ruthie
    Mia
    Samantha
    Molly
    Rebecca
    Mini Julie doll :D

    Does anyone here do NaNoWrimo? It stands for National Novel Writing Month, and only is in November. I do it! It is so fun! If you want more information, go to:

    n a n o w r i m o . o r g

    except without the spaces.

    Oh, and I got into my school’s (enter grade) spelling be! Woot woot!

  56. Sara on November 16th, 2009 10:35 pm

    Awesome!! I luv ur blog pioneerfan04!

    Also, welcome Giada!!

  57. pioneerfan04 on November 18th, 2009 9:29 pm

    Thanks Sara! I REALLY appreciate it! :D

    Oops, I just realized that I spelled ‘bee’ wrong. How ironic. :rolleyes:

  58. pioneerfan04 on November 18th, 2009 9:30 pm

    ^^ :P

  59. Sara on November 19th, 2009 5:24 pm

    Ur welcome!! Wat is Kirsten like? I mean, how hard is it to take care of her etc.?

  60. pioneerfan04 on November 19th, 2009 7:31 pm

    Kirsten is gorgeous! I give her a 5 star rating! However, don’t take her hair out of her braids unless you know how to do it again. I did it, and I regret it, but it gives you the chance to wash her hair and such. Her hair gets REALLY tangled if you don’t brush it after you take her hair out, my Kirsten’s hair got so tangled that I had to do a downy dunk, which is considered by most a last resort. :P But she still is a WONDERFUL doll! :D

    Oh, I got cast as the main character in my school’s play!!! Yay! :D

    And my birthday is only in 14 (!!) days!!!!!!!!

  61. Gracie on November 19th, 2009 10:33 pm

    Happy early birthday! My friend got Kirsten when she was little and her hair got stuck in a fence somehow and she had to cut it. Kirsten’s hair tangles easily.

  62. Gracie on November 20th, 2009 5:06 pm

    I just got doll school!

  63. Sara on November 20th, 2009 5:18 pm

    Awesome pioneerfan! Break a leg! No wait! Don’t! :D

  64. Sara on November 21st, 2009 9:05 pm

    Has any1 here seen New Moon? I have and I LOVED it!!!!!!! It was awesome!!!

  65. Holly on November 22nd, 2009 7:49 pm

    I saw it yesterday, and I LOVED it!!! TEAM JACOB!!! :)

  66. Sara on November 22nd, 2009 9:57 pm

    TEAM EDWARD!!!

  67. Madison on November 22nd, 2009 10:07 pm

    I e-mailed AG and asked what the GOTY’s name will be and they said Lanie Holland!!!

  68. emma on November 23rd, 2009 9:21 am

    it’s so cuttteee!!:D
    i can’t wait to set mine up[;
    i don’t really get the whole easel thing tho :o

  69. Lena on November 23rd, 2009 6:37 pm

    I’ve seen New Moon, and it honestly wasn’t better than Twilight. The acting was still bad, the CG was cheesy, and the lines were still corny.

  70. sunbeemz on November 23rd, 2009 8:38 pm

    Call me crazy but I’m not a fan of Twilight or New Moon. Anyways are the ALOF dolls as heavy as American girl dolls?

  71. Lena on November 23rd, 2009 9:12 pm

    *lifts Sonali and Laylie to compare* LOF’s are a bit heavier.

  72. pioneerfan04 on November 24th, 2009 9:30 am

    I don’t like the Twilight series either. It’s not my thing.

    Speaking of ALOF dolls, I wish they didn’t stop selling them on the site because I wanted to buy Millie and Elsie one day. :( None of the stores around me sell them, so I’m out of luck.

  73. Giada on November 26th, 2009 1:34 am

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  74. Sara on November 26th, 2009 9:17 am

    Happy Thanksgiving Giada and evry1 else!! Sorry I don’t have a link but I’m using my dad’s laptop and can’t find a good link.
