Summer is here and that means more time to play!! Setting up doll play scenes are a great way to inspire creative play and spark imaginations. Girls of all ages love to recreate their favorite activities, memories and interests in their doll play and we have found that doll food focused activities are always a big hit.

Not sure where to start when setting up a doll play scene? No worries – we’ll get you started! Here’s the concept – Julia works at the local Sweet and Snack Shop at the Boardwalk, but they are taking some of their best sellers out to the beachside concession stand to serve even more customers.

What you need to set up the Beachside Concession Stand:

Reversible Beach/Runway Playscene – Reversible playscenes are an easy way to inspire play and they are lightweight, fold flat, and so colorful. My Doll’s Life carries reversible playscenes in a variety of themes – the beach scene is one of my favorites!

Concession Table with 2 Chairs and 3 Signs – If you invest in one play piece, the concession table would be my number one recommendation! The concession table comes with two chairs and three different signs – you Continue Reading →

To kick off my first post, I wanted to send our Catherine doll off to school, (which is so much easier than sending my daughter off to school on some mornings!) where she is teaching a geography lesson. Geography is not her favorite and she’s practicing her lesson at home to be sure she gets her facts correct!  Since the weather here in the mid-Atlantic region is rainy, cold and overcast, Catherine still needs some layers to keep her warm. What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods?  Since it is April after all, I chose a peasant top, SPWB-PT, which provides a bit of spring layering with the gauzy, pleated fabric and bell sleeves.
