Doll Size Finds at Dollar Tree

Hello! It’s me, Nevaeh Taylor. Loren went to Dollar Tree a few weeks ago and found a bunch of cute doll size items to add to her collection. I’m going to be showcasing what she found!

Let’s get started.

First up: this adorable lamp! They come in different pastel colors — purple and yellow, to name a few — and Loren got blue because it’s her favorite color. The lamp doesn’t turn on, but it’s still super cute, and it would make a great addition to your doll’s room.

How about these drawers? The cabinet is pretty short — it only comes up to my knees — but it makes a good nightstand nonetheless. Molly and Emily have a green version of this in their room.

Loren saw this trashcan and knew she had to have it!

You can even lift the lid and deposit all your icky trash.

This little cactus is a sweet household plant that doesn’t require much attention — whether that’s because it’s plastic or simply a cactus is up to you. ;)

I’m excited to plant some flowers in these real terracotta pots come summertime!

With Easter coming up in a few days, Loren knew she had to get these mini Easter eggs! $1.00 for thirty-six glittery eggs.

I can’t wait to search for these with my sisters during our Easter egg hunt!

I saved this skateboard for last because, well . . . I’m sort of afraid of it. I’m a horrible skateboarder, and I have bad childhood memories of skateboarding on my family’s farm in West Virginia. But I have decided to overcome my fear today and learn how to ride!

Later, that is.

The skateboard is a really good size for us American Girl dolls, and I think it looks pretty . . . swagtastic? Totes amaze? Sick? I honestly don’t know what kind of things kids say these days.

Here’s the back. Would cool kids say that it has a wicked paint job?

Well, I’ve decided to try skateboarding. For you guys.

Here I go . . .

Who-o-o-a!

As you can tell, that didn’t go well. I suppose that if I ever want to learn, I’ll have to get lessons from a professional — my sister Tracy, maybe.

Have you found any doll size things lately?

Back-to-School Doll Size Finds

Many people have gone back to school already, but maybe your dolls have a couple days of summer left! I’ve gathered some back-to-school themed doll size finds for you today.

First up are these adorable three-ring binders! They come in five colors — dark blue, green, pink, light blue, and white (not shown). I got them at Staples for 50 cents apiece!

The binders are the perfect size for 18″ dolls!

They have a plastic sleeve on the front, just like the real thing.

It comes with lots of little slices pieces of paper.

The rings come apart. It’s hard the first couple of times, but after that, they come apart easily.

Next are the mini composition notebooks. They’re a little too big for dolls (let’s face it, most things are either too big or too small), but they’re still cute. I decorated mine with stickers and washi tape to give them some extra personality.

There’s lots of lined pages inside. Many stores stock these — Target, Staples, Dollar Tree, etc. I got a two pack at Staples for 50 cents.

Then there’s these clipboards. The one on the left is wooden, but I painted it.

You can find these at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.

The other type of clipboard comes with real sheets of lined paper, with a little strip of stickiness at the top. You can find them at Michael’s in a large variety of colors and patterns.

They have a magnetic strip on the back.

Moving on to some things your dolls might keep in their backpacks!

First up is a mini tape dispenser. It has real tape and actually works! I got mine at Party City for 25 cents.

You can get these tiny scissors (that can cut thin paper!) in cheap sewing kits at Michael’s.

If your dolls are staying up late studying for a test, they could sure use this lamp! The light bulb works and the lamp bends at the joints. You can find these at Dollar Tree.

Then there’s these super-cute art supplies that actually work. You can buy them on Amazon.

They’re the perfect size for American Girl dolls!

See what I mean?

The rest of this post is about simple school-related crafts you can make for your dolls.

These folders are as easy as folding a 6 and half x 4 and half piece of paper hamburger-style, and then folding the bottom inch up.

The pencils are just painted toothpicks with one end cut off, and you can see how to make the mechanical pencils here: http://funwithagfan.blogspot.com/2013/08/back-to-school-series-craft2-doll.html

P.S. Please, please, please please please please please please post about the AG Fan Meet-up on your blog! Just add a little P.S. to a new post, or even dedicate a post to the meet-up! This thing spread like wild fire last year, but this time, it’s only been shared, like, twice.

Doll Size Finds at Party City

I was at Party City a few days ago with my mom, looking for a key-chain with a doll sized camera on it. While we didn’t find the camera, we did find some other super cute doll sized things.

Puzzle cube — $0.60: First up is a mini Rubik’s Cube! It’s great size for 18″ dolls.

Here’s all the different colors on the cube: white, yellow, pinky-purple, blue, green, and pink.

The Rubik’s Cube really works!

Mini tape holder — $0.25: Here we have a mini tape thingy! You could get it in a variety of colors. It comes with real tape!

It’s also the perfect size for American Girl dolls.

Flying disk — $0.25: Then we have a mini frisbee. There was a variety of colors for this, too.

It’s a great size for AG (as lots of mini things are). The dolls will have lots of fun playing with this with each other and their dogs!

Composition book — $0.25: Last is this itty-bitty composition notebook. I think that the only color this came in was purple, but I’m not 100% sure.

See how small it is?

It had fifty sheets of lined paper inside.

It’s pretty small for American Girl dolls, but it could be used as a little notebook for them.

Or you could give it to a mini AG doll or an Ever After High doll!
