American Girl’s Girl of the Year Makes You Think Deeply About Important Topics

January 27, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

American Girl’s newest Girl of the Year^™, Blaire Wilson^™launched on January 1. Blaire Wilson is a young chef-in-training who loves bringing people together—joins American Girl’s family of characters and timeless stories designed to help girls think about their own character and who they want to be. A natural people person, Blaire excels at gathering people around the dinner table but needs help finding balance between the digital world and the real world—like many people today. Through Blaire, girls will learn the importance of staying connected to the people they care about and that this means more than clicking and swiping—it means truly being there.

“We’re proud to introduce fans to our 2019 Girl of the Year, Blaire Wilson—an everyday girl who thrives on using her many talents to make meaningful connections with others,” says Julia Prohaska, Vice President of Marketing for American Girl. “Building and maintaining supportive relationships with family and friends is central to Blaire’s story—a message we think is important to champion among girls today. In an age where families are often striving for quality time together, we hope Blaire inspires everyone to make a New Year’s resolution to connect more regularly with the important people in their lives and make their time together this year really count.”

Blaire’s story unfolds in a chapter book series written by Jennifer Castle and published by Scholastic. In the two books, available now, Blaire loves to put her cooking and decorating talents to good use on her family’s sustainable farm and bed-and-breakfast in upstate New York. When the opportunity to plan the farm’s first wedding arises, Blaire jumps in with gusto. However, between overextending herself to create the perfect farm-fancy event and a newly diagnosed food sensitivity that makes her self-conscious, Blaire finds herself more engaged on her devices than at real-life gatherings with others. Ultimately, through the help of her family and friends, Blaire finds a healthy balance and learns the value of being fully present at every occasion.

Blaire comes to life for girls via a beautiful 18-inch doll, featuring bright green eyes and curly red hair. Blaire’s world features an array of outfits, accessories, and products that reflect her life on Pleasant View Farm, including a sweet lamb and piglet, festive party decor, and Blaire’s Family Farm Restaurant, with everything needed to play out a show stopping farm-to-table celebration.

Fans can learn more about Blaire at the following 2019 events and activities:

Blaire Online Play: Girls can visit http://play.americangirl.com/play/girl-of-the-year/blaire for book excerpts, games and activities, and Blaire’s Life at Pleasant View Farm Vlog posts from her family’s sustainable farm, featuring delicious recipes, gardening tips, cooking and craft videos, and more.

Blaire’s Family Dinner Series: To promote mealtime togetherness, families are invited to attend a Blaire-inspired dinner series at select American Girl retail restaurants across the country in 2019. Parents can visit com/stores to learn more or make a reservation.

The Blaire collection is available at americangirl.com and at all American Girl retail locations nationwide.

Below is a video with my thought on this great new American Girl Girl of the Year!

Luciana Vega: American Girl’s 2018 Girl of the Year

January 18, 2018 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

3…2…1…It’s time to blast off with American Girl’s 2018 Girl of the Year^™, Luciana Vega^™! Luciana Vega is the latest in American Girl’s long line of inspiring characters that encourage girls to think about who they want to be and how they want to make their mark in the world—no matter the challenges they may face. In Luciana, girls will meet a creative, confident 11-year-old girl and aspiring astronaut who dreams of being the first person to go to Mars. And, while she has the skills and smarts to achieve her goals, she also learns that being a good leader and team player right here on Earth is the best first step.

“We’re proud to introduce fans to American Girl’s 2018 Girl of the Year, Luciana Vega—a champion of STEM and a natural-born leader who puts her whole heart into making her dreams a reality,” says Katy Dickson, president of American Girl. “Luciana is a role model for today’s girls—empowering them to defy stereotypes, and embrace risks that will teach them about failure and success as they chart their own course in life—whatever the goal. For us, it’s all about building girls of strong character, and it’s why we’re continuing to encourage girls to lead change and embrace #charactercounts.”

Luciana’s world comes to life via a beautiful 18-inch Luciana^™ doll, featuring warm brown eyes, medium skin, and dark brown hair with a distinctive purple streak to show off her creative side. Other STEM-inspired outfits, accessories, and products that reflect her Space Camp^® experience include Luciana’s Flight Suit and Space Suit, her Maker Station, and a Mars Habitat loaded with science and research essentials for hours of pretend play. And—for the first time—girls can further engage in Luciana’s world by downloading the American Girl app and scanning her catalogue pages and products to unlock exclusive content, including augmented reality, trailers and videos, space simulations, quizzes and challenges, and much more.

Additionally, Luciana’s story is chronicled in a chapter book series written by Erin Teagan and published by Scholastic. The first two books, available now, introduce readers to Luciana, a young girl of Chilean descent with a serious science streak, who loves the idea of exploring new territories in space. After winning a scholarship to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, Luciana is thrilled to launch her dream of landing on Mars. But as she ascends from Space Camp kid to youth astronaut trainee, she faces many challenges that test her competitive spirit and self-confidence, and she must find the courage to embrace the unknown with bravery, curiosity, and wonder.

To help ensure the accuracy of Luciana’s story and product line, American Girl worked with the following four-member Advisory Board who were integral to Luciana’s development: Dr. Ellen Stofan, former NASA Chief Scientist; Dr. Deborah Barnhart, CEO and Executive Director of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center; Dr. Megan McArthur Behnken, NASA Astronaut; and Maureen O’Brien, Manager of Strategic Alliances at NASA. In addition, a team of American Girl editors and product designers visited Space Camp and NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to gain insight into a day in the life of a Space Camp trainee—from putting on space suits and learning about the “right” way to eat in space to conducting a mission in micro-gravity. American Girl’s partnership with NASA was developed through the Space Act Agreement to inform and inspire the wider public (and especially young girls) about the excitement of space and STEM careers.

To engage girls and boys with Luciana’s message, American Girl—in partnerships with Scholastic, NASA, and Space Camp—has funded Blast Off to Discovery, an educational program to help third though fifth-grade students explore the wonder of space through Luciana-inspired content, including STEM-based lesson plans and classroom activities, videos, a game, and more. The program will be available on www.scholastic.com starting January 31, 2018. In addition, American Girl and Scholastic will host a Mission to Mars Sweepstakes where families can go on a series of weekly missions for a chance to win several prizes, including a grand prize trip to Space Camp valued at over $2,000.

Other Luciana-related initiatives being held throughout the year include the following:

Luciana Online Play: Girls can visit americangirl.com/play/girl-of-the-year/luciana/ to read excerpts from the Luciana books and enjoy fun space-inspired activities.
American Girl WorldApp: Fans can step into the worlds of Luciana and their other favorite American Girl characters and experience their stories in a whole new way. The app is available to download later in January through the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Kindle.
Luciana-Themed Space Camp: Girls and their families can train just like astronauts—including taking a tumble spin in the Multi-Axis Trainer and designing a robot—at a special Girl of the Year experience created in partnership with Space Camp starting in summer 2018. American Girl is also sponsoring 20 scholarships to attend Space Camp. To learn more, visit com/meetluciana.

The Luciana collection is available on January 1, 2018, through American Girl’s catalogue; at americangirl.com; at all American Girl retail locations nationwide; and at American Girl specialty boutiques at select Indigo^™ and Chapters^™ locations in Canada and online at Indigo.ca.

My Take on Luciana Vega

This year’s the brand new American Girl doll of the year is Luciana Vega. This new doll is amazing and I love the story behind the doll itself. Luciana Vega has Big Dreams and she’s working hard to try to realize her dreams I was going into space. Also, this is the first doll that in my opinion, as some Flair. Has you open the Dahl you see the purple streak through her hair and you can tell that she is a vibrant personality. No matter if your kids already have a flare of their own or not, Luciana Vega, as a doll, encourage them to live their dreams and to explore, through creativity and Imagination, a future that they might not even consider at first.

As I have explained in the past, I have had the opportunity to explore different American Girl dolls over the years. Every year I am continuously impressed by the quality of these dolls and the love that is put into the creation of each doll. As you look at the Quality and workmanship of the Dolls themselves you can tell that they are painstakingly created to allow all children should be able to have a quality experience with the doll itself.

With Luciana Vega, I am also really impressed with all of the additional accessories that come with her this year. Not only are there different clothes, but there is also a astronaut uniform and more. While these cost more money they do extend and allow for additional creative Outlets to occur if a child so chooses.

All in all, Luciana Vega is a great addition to the American Girl doll line, and whether your daughter already has an American Girl doll for herself or not, this is a great doll to add to your collection.

Gabriela McBride Shares A Passion For the Arts & Creativity To All

January 21, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

American Girl is ringing in the New Year with the debut of Gabriela McBride^™, the company’s new 2017 Girl of the Year^™! Gabriela McBride is a true creative talent who uses the power of poetry to help her break down barriers and overcome a personal challenge with stuttering. Gabriela comes to life for girls via a beautiful 18-inch Gabriela^™ doll featuring curly dark-brown hair and warm brown eyes, an exclusive outfit that reflects her creative side, and a book chronicling her story. Gabriela also comes with several performance-inspired outfits and accessories, including a dance barre, rehearsal and dance outfits, plus pretend headphones and a microphone. Additional Gabriela products and books will be available starting in spring 2017, and—for the first time—the new Girl of the Year collection will be available for a full 12 months and beyond.

Gabriela McBride’s story will be told in a series of three books published by Scholastic and written by Teresa E. Harris. The first book Gabriela, hits shelves in January and tells the story of a quiet and creative girl growing up in a family of artists. Gabriela inherited a love of the arts from her parents, especially her mother, but spoken word poetry is becoming her own passion. Although Gabriela often finds herself in a battle with her own words because of her stuttering, she discovers that her poetry, filled with wit and honesty, helps her speech flow more easily and gives her the confidence to find her voice to help save her beloved community arts center from being torn down.

To connect both boys and girls with Gabriela McBride’s inspiring message, American Girl is partnering with Scholastic, the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books and leader in comprehensive educational materials, to create and distribute Express Yourself, a custom curriculum program that teaches 3^rd-5^th grade students how to use poetry as a tool for self-expression. The free materials will be available on www.scholastic.com starting March 1, 2017, and include teacher lessons and corresponding classroom activities, a poetry poster, plus parent tips and learning ideas to do at home. In addition, to celebrate National Poetry Month, the program also features a poetry contest for students that will run throughout the month of April. The Express Yourself program will encourage all students to find their creative voices and share their own personal stories, while building confidence along the way.

Other Gabby-related initiatives being held throughout the year include the following:

Gabriela Online Play: Girls can visit the Gabby-dedicated site at Americangirl.com/girloftheyear for free book excerpts, videos, activities, wallpaper and e-cards, and much more.

Gabriela Retail Events: On January 1, American Girl stores are hosting Gabriela’s Debut Event, where girls will get a first look at her full product collection, plus enjoy in-store activities, colorful crafts, giveaways, and a fun photo opportunity. For more details on the in-store events, visit com/stores.

The Gabriela McBride collection became available on January 1, 2017, through American Girl’s catalog; at americangirl.com; at all American Girl retail locations nationwide; at American Girl specialty boutiques at select Indigo^™ and Chapters^™ in Canada and El Palacio de Hierro locations in Mexico City; and at Toys “R” Us stores starting in March. The Gabriela books can also be purchased through retail and online booksellers.

My Take on the American Girl Doll

As you may remember I have had the chance to experience a number of American Girl Dolls in the past including, Lea, Melody, and Maryellen Larkin, so as you can probably guess my daughters are always excited about the new American Girl Doll of the Year that comes out in January. What they always love is the fact that there are always such great stories and backgrounds these dolls and Gabriela is no different in this regard. One of the things that my daughters loves about Gabriela McBride was that she loves the arts and creativity both things that my girls are excited about as well. I loved that she had her own microphone as a part of the accessories that were available, talk about giving her a voice! The Gabriela McBride doll was very well made and you can tell from the first moment that you open the American Girl Box to the interactive and creative play that these dolls inspire that these dolls will last for many years. If you are looking for a great doll that your child will be able to love for years to come the Gabriela McBride doll is just that doll!

Melody Ellison, American Girl’s Newest Addition Will Make You #LiftYourVoice!

October 16, 2016 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

My daughter and I are really excited to be able to share the news about the newest BeForever character, Melody Ellison! One of the things that we love about Melody is the fact that she is from our home State, Michigan. My youngest also really connected this this doll as she is a 9-year old just like she is. While her life is very different than my daughters, her story is one that I want my daughters to learn, especially in regards to the issues of civil rights that she deals with in growing up in the 1960s. The story and the doll itself really allows girls today to gain a stronger understanding for issues of equality, as well as opens eyes to what the world was like in this important time in American’s history.

In looking into the creation of the doll and the story I was pleased to see that American Girl worked hard to ensure the historical accuracy and cultural authenticity of Melody’s story and product collection. To do this American Girl worked for over two years with an esteemed six-member advisory board who reviewed and provided input on all aspects of Melody’s development—from the doll, books, outfits, accessories, issues, and story setting. The Melody Ellison advisory board members included:

The late Horace Julian Bond, chairman emeritus, NAACP Board of Directors and founding member of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)
Gloria House, director and professor emerita, African and African American Studies, University of Michigan-Dearborn
Juanita Moore , President and CEO of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit and founding executive director of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis
Rebecca de Schweinitz, associate professor of history, Brigham Young University, Utah, and author of If We Could Change the World: Young People and America’s Long Struggle for Racial Equality
Thomas J. Sugrue, professor of history at New York University and author of Sweet Land of Liberty: The Forgotten Struggle for Civil Rights in the North
JoAnn Watson, native of Detroit, ordained minister, and former executive director of the Detroit NAACP

To coincide with Melody’s debut, American Girl is launching the Lift Your Voice with Melody campaign. Fans can watch the Lift Your Voice with Melody video at www.americangirl.com/liftyourvoice and then share their own inspiring videos and photos on how they make a difference, using #LiftYourVoice.

The Melody Ellison doll itself is so well created. My daughters love her outfit and now that we have gone to a local American Girl store we have seen all of the other clothes and accessories that have been created for this great doll and they truly love all of the period costumes! The particularly loved the accessory pack, but all of the things provided with Melody Ellison will take you back in time. See them all here.

We are also really excited about the new American Girl movie that is coming soon in October 21 on Amazon Prime! See the trailer here!

Wellie Wishers from American Girl Bring A New Friend To Your Daughter

June 25, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Wellie Wishers from American Girl Bring A New Friend To Your Daughter

My family has been a big fan of American Girl for a long time. We have dolls, have watched all of the movies, visited the American Girl store in New York City and Chicago and more, so whenever we hear of new and exciting things from American Girl we are ecstatic.

This was the case recently when we heard about the new line of Wellie Wisher dolls that American Girl was releasing. As a parent I was excited for other parents as these are being made for younger girls and are giving these families the opportunities to get into high quality American Girls for a lower price point than the original American Girl dolls.

When American Girl sent me one of the new dolls to review, we all were excited to see and experience the very nice quality of the doll itself. The first thing you will notice on these dolls is that they are smaller than other American Girl dolls. The skin of the dolls feels a bit different too. You will see the same quality though in the hair of the dolls and in the craftsmanship in the clothes that are provided.

One of the things that we loved about these dolls are the Wellie boots that they came with. We actually selected this specific doll not only because of how she looked but also because of the boots as our oldest daughter had these same boots when she was younger.

These are very nice dolls and for the price and for the quality these are definitely worth it. These are dolls that if taken care of they will last for years and years and could even become heirloom pieces!

American Girl Maryellen Larkin Doll Encourages Girls Through Imaginative Play

September 13, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Creative play is something that I am always working to encourage within my girls. Whether it be through coloring, crafts or construction, our home is always a bustling place that allows them to have fun and fine their own place.

This expands beyond the creation of items into imaginative play too. One of the things that my girs have always been drawn too is playing with dolls. While this might be cliché, I never quashed it, and instead I let them create the worlds that they wanted with the dolls that they had.

One of the companies that my girls have been drawn to in the past has always been drawn to has been American Girl. While some might think that this is because of the commercial nature of the company, I think instead they are drawn to the quality of the doll itself, as well as the story that goes behind so many of the dolls that they have for girls like my own. On top of this, the company is all about girls and is a large proponent for building the self-esteem and self-worth of girls everywhere, which, as a father of girls, is exactly what I want a company to stand for.

A perfect example of the story behind the doll is the new historical doll, . Maryellen Larkin is a doll about a girl from the 1950’s.

Maryellen Larkin was introduced to American Girl customers on August 27, 2015. Maryellen Larkin is an optimistic, energetic girl growing up in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1954. The Maryellen product line includes the 18-inch Maryellen doll and two-book series, several 1950s-era doll outfits and cool new accessories that combine iconic ’50s aesthetics with innovative features that extend the play experience for girls, including a TV console that works with a girl’s iPad, and a jukebox that plays ’50s-style songs and connects to electronic music players.

As the author of the Maryellen Larkin book says:

“At first glance, Maryellen’s circumstances appear determinedly normal,” says American Girl author Valerie Tripp. “I did this deliberately, so that I could show that the extraordinary exists with the extra-ordinary, and it is Maryellen’s own sparky pizzazz that makes the difference.”

While this is the story American Girl goes so much further, offering a movie that delves even deeper and makes the story come alive, and offers additional accessories that are beautifully made and so intricate.

To celebrate Maryellen’s debut, American Girl retail stores will be bustling with Maryellen excitement with free and paid events, including giveaways, crafts, and in-store activities. And girls can explore the era with Maryellen’s Nifty ’50s Scrapbook. The online digital scrapbook—told from Maryellen’s point of view—will include photos, illustrations, video clips, games, and activities. For parents and teachers, a free downloadable Maryellen Learning Guide, available at americangirl.com, explores themes and issues from the 1950s.

American Girl is also going to be having Maryellen Retail Events (http://www.americangirl.com/retailinfo/events) starting on August 27 at American Girl retail stores, girls across the country can explore the fabulous ’50s with free Maryellen-inspired events geared for girls ages 8 and up that include a free craft, a retro photo experience, and free gift.

The Maryellen doll and related products will be available on August 27, 2015 at americangirl.com; at all American Girl retail locations nationwide; through American Girl’s catalogue; at American Girl specialty boutiques at select Indigo™ and Chapters™ locations in Canada; and at El Palacio de Hierro in Mexico City. The Maryellen books can also be purchased through retail and online booksellers. To learn more about Maryellen and the BeForever line of historical characters, go to americangirl.com or visit American Girl’s social channels. To request a free American Girl catalog, call 1-800-845-0005.

In receiving the Maryellen Larkin doll itself, she was beautifully constructed. The Maryellen Larkin doll has intricate design and with the detail that you get, it is worth every bit of money that is spent on it.

In talking to my own daughters about why they love American Girl, they said “ I love how pretty the dolls are, their hair, their clothes, everything “

I love that my daughters have the imagination that they have and love to encourage the play and the worlds that they create with the American Girl dolls that they have. If you have never checked out American Girl dolls before, Maryellen or any of their dolls including the Just Like You or Bitty Baby Dolls are great for all ages and are dolls that are built to last and be passed on from generation to generation.

Build & Imagine Toys Lets Creativity Come Alive!

July 29, 2015 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

Each Build & Imagine StoryWalls play-set is made of colorfully illustrated magnetic panels that a child joins together. The result is a scene that they bring to life with the enclosed dress-up dolls and more than 40 magnetic costumes and props. The illustrated details act as story starters, sparking imaginative play. Toy industry experts have taken notice including Dr. Toy, Parents’ Choice, The National Parenting Center, Mr. Dad and many others.

Build & Imagine toys put the child in the role of architect and storyteller, and offers adventurous leading female characters. The color blue is sublimely sprinkled throughout the illustrated scenery. Mom blogger CoolMomPicks noted in her 2015 Toy Fair synopsis that Build & Imagine is a “smart toy for girls that defy the pink aisle. In other words, no princesses, ballerinas or fashionistas, whatever career that is.”

To tell you my own thoughts about this set, I, and my daughter put a video review together to encapsulate them! Hope you enjoy our thoughts!

ABOUT BUILD & IMAGINE

Laurie Peterson, an award-winning toy designer and mother, founded Build & Imagine after noticing that the kinds of play experiences she enjoyed as a child (involving building, creativity, and experimentation) were poorly represented in the girls’ section of most toy stores. She now develops magnetic building toys with leading female characters and rich narrative details to engage both girls and boys. The company got its jumpstart with a successful Kickstarter project, and will have five themed building sets available this fall.

The Queen’s Treasures ( @theQueenstreas ) = High Quality Doll Items! #DadChat

February 28, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

About The Queen’s Treasurers

The Queen’s Treasures is an online/offline retailer of exquisite 18 inch doll accessories, 18? doll clothes and 18″ doll furniture scaled perfectly for 18? dolls like American Girl® Dolls. One of the best-known dealers of beautiful doll trunks for sized for American Girl® dolls, The Queen’s Treasures has expanded their product line to feature everything from princess tea party tea sets to tiki stands for 18? dolls.

With two girls myself, I have been introduced to 18 inch dolls in the past from my girls’ love of American Girl® Dolls. Over the years my girls have collected a few and with them clothes and some furniture. That being said though I did not always find a lot of alternatives to the American Girl options. This is why I was excited when I found out about The Queen’s Treasures because this is exactly what they focus on. The Queen’s Treasures offer some great alternatives for 18 inch doll clothes, Doll Furniture, Doll trunks, and high quality 18 inch accessories.

In researching the company I found that The Queen’s Treasures ® was born in 2005 first offering high quality Doll trunks for 18 inch dolls like American Girl®, 18” doll desks, and other 18” doll storage solutions. From there they began designing 18” outfits and dresses compatible with American Girl ®Doll Clothes. Our 18 inch doll furniture line expanded to include 18” doll tables and chairs, 18” doll hutches, 18” doll beds, 18” doll sofas, dressers and more!
My Take on The Queen’s Treasurers

As mentioned, I was impressed greatly with the variety that The Queen’s Treasures offered. I was lucky enough to be able to try out their Great Outdoors Wilderness Adventure Play Set. Below, I have shared my thoughts on this well built product that is perfect for any set of 18 inch dolls.
