Friday Favorites: Summer Picks from American Girl

 

If you’re on the hunt for great birthday gifts or even thinking ahead to the holidays, we’ve got a great list of Friday Favorites today! This summer, American Girl launched a number of fun new items for girls, their dolls and their bookshelves. Being home more, my girls have also been working more on chores and earning allowance. If your girls have an “American Girl” savings jar like mine, they may also want to browse today’s list! 

American Girl Team USA 

The Olympics may be postponed to 2021 but you can still have some Summer Olympic fun with your American Girl dolls this year and the Team USA Collection. I love the patriotic, realistic Olympic outfits and my girls love all of the “real” accessories that make them able to actually play the sports with the dolls: for example the softball set comes with bases! Of course they can also celebrate their big wins with the award ceremony sets. 

 

American Girl Summer and Outdoors Outfits and Accessories 

There are some cool new additions at American Girl this summer that make great gifts. We love Joss and her new summer jumper and grill are my daughter’s favorite birthday gift.

Be sure to check out the new National Park Outfit and National Park accessories. We were bummed to cancel a trip to our first National Park due to the pandemic so until we can reschedule, we’ll spend some time playing National Park visit at home! 

Another new addition is the AG Fashion Show™ Cute at Heart Collection: Insta-stars Leah and Ava Clements are helping girls channel their inner fashionista with the debut the new AG Fashion Show x Clements Twins Cute at Heart Collection. The new mix and match collection features several on-trend doll and girl outfits, including a gold moto jacket, a heart print dress, a summery skirt, and sparkly kimono, plus many more styles and accessories.

American Girl Books

As always, we’ve had lots of American Girl books as part of our summer reading. My girls love reading about their favorite dolls. We’re big on reading about Joss and Blaire this summer. We also really like the Smart Girl’s Guides. This summer we added the new A Smart Girl’s Guide: Making A Difference. I would highly recommend this book. There’s tons of great info like how to make “big chances with small actions”, empowerment and more.
