Creativity at its Best

Allison and Reanna have spent hours and hours over the last few weekends working on "a bedroom" for Allison's American Girl dolls. These two love to be creative and work so well together so Leslie and I have done our best to get them together.  They watched You Tube videos showing room tours that other kids have done and then have let their imaginations run wild.  I can't believe the stuff they have created using our recycling bin!

Kanani and Makenna share this trundle bed under Allison's desk, so she added mini posters to the wall next to the bed.

 Here is their closet, along with their schedule for the day and little love notes from Mom (A.K.A. Allison).

 They used a cardboard box to make a dresser/bookshelf and paper to create storage bins for Chargers, Hair Bows and Dress Up clothes.  They even used construction paper and a toothpick to make an earring holder.

 Allison found an almond tin in the recycling box, covered it in construction paper and made a nightstand.  She printed a clock picture off of the computer, made a mug out of paper and I love, love, love the iPod charger made out of cardboard and string!

Finally, they created a desk for the girls.  They made a MAC screen and keyboard off of computer printouts, notepads and a clipboard.  Even the pets have food and water from the lids of Slurpees!
I'm sure this is just the beginning.  They have watched videos on how to make a kitchen stove and lots of other essentials.  The possibilities are endless and I'm just thrilled to not be spending hundreds of dollars buying the stuff on the AG website!!  Keep the creativity flowing girls...
