Madeline Snuggly Storybook Doll plus Free DVD  40% Off

Time for an innocent doll!
Would you like your little girl to play with a cuddly, soft dress-up doll with a sweet innocent face and body? Our new larger size Madeline is a 18" rag doll who is snuggly enough to sleep with. Dressed for the holidays, Madeline is wearing a cozy red velour dress with rosette trim, lace tights, cloth panties, removable black shoes and she carries her black satin purse. It's handy that she can wear easy-to-find standard 18" doll clothes too! I've been searching a long, long time to find just the right doll. Louisa helped me shop and pointed out that she couldn't find a doll whose didn't have a "belly shirt" and makeup on. Innocence doesn't seem to be very popular any more. Madeline is such a refreshing change from the stylin' groovin' fashion dolls. Quality made and unconditionally guaranteed for life, Madeline's appearance is loyal to the book. She even has an appendix scar stitched on her cloth tummy! Sweet and soft!

She'll be your girl's favorite doll!
2 DVD features
1. Madeline's Winter Vacation
The snowy fun of the Alps turns into trouble when as avalanche cuts Madeline and friends off from help. Watch as Madeline helps everyone to never give up hope!
2. Madeline in London

The Body Book for Girls 

There is a lot to learn when growing from a little girl to a young woman, and this happy book from the American Girl company gets right to the point in a frank and warm conversational tone. There are no taboo topics: this head-to-toe guide answers every question! Covers basic hygiene and grooming, body changes, braces, bad breath, pimples, breast growth, first bra, shaving your legs, sleep problems, getting your period, choosing and using feminine products, nutrition, eating disorders, and emotions . . . plus lots more! (There is no information on sex.) Some of the colorful cartoon drawings are a bit graphic, but a girl has got to know what she needs to know, and this is the most user-friendly book I've found on the subject. Paperback, color drawings, 104 pages.

Artist's Quality Colored Pencils, 12 colors   36% Off

Why colored pencils? Unlike paints, colored pencils are non-messy and portable. Unlike markers, clear detail can be achieved as well as a variation of effects, from light shading to bright vivid color. There is nothing I'd rather use than these fine Caran D'Ache colored pencils. The quality is excellent! Good colored pencils have soft leads that lay down color smoothly and can be blended by overlapping for a unique range of color hues. These pencils are fat which makes them easy to hold, broad in stroke, and less tiring on the hands than skinny ones. You are in for a surprise if you are accustomed to the pale colors from the hard, gritty-leaded colored pencils available in discount stores. Caran D'Ache is well-known for their award-winning quality art supplies. Although they are a bit expensive, these colored pencils have been survivors. From kindergarten to college, you are going to love these!

20 Art Lessons 

Twenty art lessons—just enough to teach the basic principles of art. All your student will need is a pencil, crayons and hands-on pages of this handy draw-in book to self-teach important concepts in art. I like to teach the concept before passing out the books so the children understand well before attempting the artwork. Covers these concepts: primary and secondary colors, mixing colors, warm and cool colors, line, texture, shape, form, space, values, proportions, balance, faces, grids, crosshatching, shading, and overlapping. Buy a book for each student. Spiralbound, for grades 4-7.

Indian Captive: The Story of Mary Jemison 

This is my favorite “Indian” book! The true story of young Mary Jemison is retold in historical fiction form that will engage your children. I read my copy aloud to the whole family and loved it! Poor Mary was captured in a raid and dragged over mountains on an arduous journey. There she was raised amongst the Seneca Indians eventually raising a large family of Indian children of her own. The research has been meticulous and Indian life, handiwork, and customs are vividly portrayed. Black and white drawings add to the enjoyment. Newbery Honor book. Paperback, 298 pages for ages 11 and up.

Watercolor for the Artistically Undiscovered  

That’s what we are, isn’t it?. . . just “undiscovered artists” waiting for the talent to burst forth. This clever book has the effect of teaching those of us who feel untalented that it is fun and easy to paint! This is a complete learn-to-watercolor kit which includes high quality artist paints and brush, watercolor paper bound right into the book, lessons with plenty of samples to learn from, plus hints, techniques, goofy, inspirational instructions, and encouragement from an expert (children’s book illustrator, Thacher Hurd). Very educational, yet thrilling to work through. My son and I both enjoyed it immensely and couldn’t wait to get our chores done so we could paint. Foolproof and highly recommended! Wirebound, 72 cardstock pages, artist quality paint set included.

Typing Instructor Deluxe  33% Off

We live in an age when being able to use a computer keyboard is a necessity. I like to teach my children to type quite young. It gives them the freedom of being able to get their thoughts down on paper long before they have the fine muscle coordination to tirelessly handwrite out a story or journal entry. Besides, they can do it! My daughter Louisa loves it. The lessons are unsurpassed for teaching quality and the format is plenty of fun (without the usual sassiness, rudeness or worldliness of so many software programs geared towards kids). After the lesson, you can choose from 60 music selections (or silence) to type along to, and the typing practice can be chosen from hundreds of interesting magazine type articles on all subjects. There are fun arcade games to prove your efficiency at every level. We've tried lots of programs, but this rates #1 with us! (Note: this is a specially modified version that omits some offensive arcade games—not available on the market.) For Windows.
