American Girl Website

americangirl.com

My daughter has two American girl dolls, Kaya and Felicity. She's enjoyed reading the American Girl doll chapter books and she's also very fond of the American Girl magazine. (Mom loves the American Girl magazine too because it has zero ads.)

When our daughter recently was introduced to going on line under supervision whether for research or play, she at first really didn't really know where to go and found many popular websites for kids too frustrating or uninteresting after a few minutes.

Features of the American Girl website:

Characters

Characters features a chance to learn more about all of the American Girl dolls including the historical dolls.

Games

Here's an example of one of the games, Kirsten's Honeybees.

Earn money by planting and watering plants and collecting honey. Spend the money to buy more fencing materials, bees and supplies.

Featured games are updated such as Halloween theme games and so on.

Activities

Examples of activities include making Halloween posters, Word Scrambles, A Smart Girl's Guide to the Internet and Dressing Coconut (a dog) and printing stationary.

Quizzes

One example of a quiz is "What's your sleep style? Early to bed or sleepyhead?" There are 9 questions.

Girl Buzz

Girl Buzz includes questions and answers from kids. Girls can submit but there's no chatting.

10 year old says: "The American Girl website is lots of fun. There are lots of games and it is all free."

Mom says: "Americangirl.com has no chatting, no ads, no log in or passwords. The games are educational as well as fun."

They really are fun. Mine is going through the catalog this week looking for accessories to put on her Christmas list. Since these aren't really "baby" dolls, at 10 she still enjoys them. She plays violin so she has a violin and music stand for her doll too. I dread the day she outgrows enjoying them. Thanks for reading!

I long to have a little girl that I can get one of these dolls for! Thanks for the details!

Great info--hadn't heard of this web site. I like that there aren't any ads, etc. So many of the kids' web sites are packed with them and it tends to slow down the games at times.

Nice review!

adorable. I love all these sites that are fun for the kids and based on their favorite characters. Our fav (but we have little ones) pbskids.org. I guess I better write a review on it :)
