Last week Kate had a fun doll craft night. Last year for her birthday she got an American girl doll. Ever since she's been dying to make these little crafts that are in a booklet that came with her doll. They were really cute, but I just haven't ever gotten the supplies together to do it. I finally decided it was time to just make them all in one night. We turned it into a mom and daughter craft night while Dan and Kirk had a camping experience in the backyard. Kate's favorite things to do are crafts. She is so creative, and loves to make things. I think she gets that from me. I have to admit I had just as much fun as Kate did. I love dolls, when I was a kid I was really into the American girl books, so of course I was excited when Kate got her doll. 
We made matching heart necklaces for the doll and for Kate. I found this sheet of heart sticky rhinestones for .50 cents at the craft store. I stuck them to a piece of fun foam. Then I spray painted some paper clips white, and inserted it in to the fun foam. We used blue ribbon to tie it around their necks. So cute! 
Another craft was matching hair clips for the girl and doll. I hot glued small pom poms onto hair clips. The Kate got to choose which colors to use.
We also made small foam cookies for the dolls! Benjamin has chewed them up, but it was fun while it lasted!
The doll is all ready to go camping, we made pretend fire's for the doll to roast Marshmallows over. You use cinnimon sticks as the logs, and yellow tissue paper for the fire. 
Finally, a doll can't go camping without a sleeping bag and pillow. I made these out of some leftover material that I had on hand. Kate was so excited about it.
