Craft Time for You and Your American Girl

With adult supervision, the sew-and-stuff kit makes craft time a fun, interactive event for you and your American Girl doll. The kit comes with 20 pieces of pre-cut and perforated felt pieces for you to stitch together. All you'll need to get started is a pair of scissors and a ruler or tape measure. The rest of the supplies are included to sew the bears from start to finish.

This set includes real needles so adult supervision is required.

Step-by-Step Instructions Teach You to Sew

This kit comes with a thorough project and idea booklet to guide you through the process of learning to sew. You'll learn the X stitch, the button stitch, the sequin stitch, a running stitch, and the whip stitch, all in one project. The bear's design has been crafted with the idea that you'll use all these stitches in the process. It may seem hard at first, but with the included picture-prompted instructions, you'll be sewing in no time at all.

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Corn Popper Push Toy

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Corn Popper Push Toy Review



Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Corn Popper Push Toy Feature

  • Balls strike plastic dome and create a fun Poppity-Pop sound and action
  • Balls strike the inside of the plastic dome when Corn Popper is pushed along
  • Sturdy design for beginning walkers
  • Poppity-pop! Classic push toy fun
  • Age range 1 to 5 years
This is probably the first toy that (no pun intended) pops into your mind when you hear the name Fisher-Price. Maybe this will jar your memory: the Push Toy Corn Popper has a long, blue handle (well, "long" if you're 3 years old), and rolls along on two brightly colored red/orange wheels while making great popping sounds as it bounces brightly colored balls inside a clear plastic bubble that's mounted above the wheels. So much for the technical specifications. There must be some unwritten law that every toddler has to have one of these. And with good reason. They're still fun! --Chris Livesay 12 months & up. Popping with colorful balls to entertain and encourage walking, as well as counting and visual tracking. Helps little ones learn numbers and counting skills. Push it along for sounds and lights, as the colorful balls pop inside the plastic dome. Requires 3 AA batteries (not included) for sounds and lights.
