American Girl Tea - Kit

Once a month Sweet-Pea and I host an American Girl Tea in our home. We have so much fun learning about the various dolls and what era they are from. There are 11 of us in the 'club'...5 moms and 6 girls. Each month a mother/daughter team leads the event here in our home, complete with food, crafts, games and a devotional that applies to what we learned about that particular doll. We have done 7 teas already - this was our 8th - hard to believe.

Today we featured Kit Kittridge. She's the girl who grew up during the depression in Cincinnati, Ohio. The food was delicious - we had apple kuchen, ambrosia and homemade waffles!! The girls all took turns making the waffles...yes it was messy...but well worth it.

Our crafts included 2 simple items...a tissue paper flower and a paper lantern - appropriate crafts for that era. The girls then played a word game for a while which they loved. Sweet-Pea had a hard time with it though because she's still in the early stages of reading. The game was a bit confusing for her but she put her all into it and tried. I was proud of her!

Here she is with her crafts:


The girls playing the game together: (such silly girls!)


Sweet-Pea and two of her dear friends. Unfortunately these two dear girls are moving next month and we won't be seeing them at our teas anymore. Needless to say, Sweet-Pea is very sad about that! Gotta love the matching jumpers...something only girls would do!!!


Next month our doll will be Molly - the doll from the 1940's. I'll post photos and information on her as well once we have our tea.
