"I love this. One of my favorite sounds are wind chimes and this one is so cute! I know kids would truly enjoy making some of these, but I think I'll give this one a try myself!"

"I remember making these back in grade school. They are easy to make, and a lot of fun too. They are a great classroom project. My grandmother used to collect them when we made them. She liked them because they are nice and thick and help protect the cupboard from burns when used as pot holders."

"I remember making these in school as a child. They were so easy, and so much fun. We shaped them how we wanted, painted them, and then let them air dry because we didnt have an oven at school that we could use. They took forever to air dry. Unfortunately, I cannot access the page that links to the playdough recipe, or the link for the baking instructions. The site will not load. The link provided here only brings us to a page telling us to look elsewhere for these things."

"How lovely! I think this is a great craft for teens to make and put in their room as decoration. This is definitely a creative use of the watercolor technique that I can't wait to try!"

"This is so fun because not only do you get to eat the ice-cream, you get to see how it's made. Very cool craft to do with the little ones. Nothing beats homemade ice-cream for sure!"

It doesn't get more classic than American Girl, the brand that encourages girls to be authentic, adventurous and brave. Now, girls can express themselves with Simplicity's new line of American Girl Crafts. Not only are these crafts branded with the same friendly, empowering American Girl attitude we know and love, but they give girls the opportunity to learn new skills like sewing, paper crafts and more. These handmade projects are feminine, fun and fierce!

These adorable craft kits by Simplicity are created for children aged 8 and up. These projects all allow for personalization and self-expression. While many kids could do these projects with little guidance, there are opportunities to make it a fun team effort!

Create & Craft Jewelry Keeper: Are (plastic) diamonds your little girl's best friend? Empower her to get organized while showing off her personal flair with this DIY jewelry organizer kit. This organizer is made with cardstock, foam, adhesive and stickers. Colorful and bright, it would add some cheer to any child's bedroom. In only three easy steps, your child can assemble and decorate the 12 drawers and backing. There are even labels where she can write in her own ways of organizing. This kit inspires creativity and organizational skills, and teaches that crafting can be pretty useful.

Fun Fabric Bag: Give your child experience with hand-stitching with the Fun Fabric Bag kit. While the bag itself is ready to go, your child can mix and match shapes to design unique flower patterns. Then, she can use needle and thread for an easy handstitching experience. This is a great project for sewing beginners, girls' clubs and more! Adult help is recommended here as there are needles and scissors involved, so it makes a fun, educational project to work on together. Plus, in American Girl style, the instructions include fun fashion tips and ideas for even more creativity.

Paper Posies Pad: Here's a craft paper pad that's perfect for kids who like to make homemade cards, paper decorations and more. The Paper Posies Pad includes easy punch-out flowers for 231 paper posies. It also includes adhesive dots, so no need for messy glue. The flowers can be used to decorate just about anything, including school supplies, homemade cards, personal items and more. There's an idea booklet to keep your child occupied with new ways to use these paper flowers. It's a mess-free craft that can be used on more than one occasion.

The best thing about American Girl Crafts is the encouraging, inspiring tone throughout. Give your child an upbeat learning experience that teaches them basic craft skills with American Girl Crafts by Simplicity.
