Kid and Teen Solution

Dolls are one of the most common toys that little girls play with. Perhaps, the pioneer that started all this was Barbie, which has been in the business for more than 30 years.

The reason why this company has lasted so long is perhaps the different clothes and other accessories that have been introduced. From clothes, Barbie now has a dollhouse, a car and furniture allowing the child to think of different scenarios and have fun.

Lately, the company has ventured into something new. Barbie now has a movie and can be read in books with one of the most popular entitled ” 12 Barbie Dancing Princess.” The story is not like Snow White or Cinderella but it still has family values especially with the King and the siblings.

Everything from the story of Barbie and the 12 Princesses can now be brought home for the child s enjoyment.

The person can get a copy on DVD format from the video store for less than $15 so the child can watch this over and over again at home. There are also coloring books available as well which is a great exercise for the kid to do that is under $5.

Avid fans of Barbie can also get the hard copy from the bookstore for just $8. This will surely be one book that mom or dad will read time and time again when putting the little girl to bed.

The success of the movie and the storybook can also be brought home, as the toy is also available for purchase for under $15. The child can reenact the story with friends as the other characters in the story are also out in the market.

What happens next for Barbie? That is something that people will just have to wait for in the future. Those who loved the campaign for this story will surely love the next one when it comes out.

Christmas is right around the corner so the child does not know yet about Barbie s adventure in saving the kingdom and the family from the evil aunt, perhaps this is the best time to get a copy to celebrate the holidays.

The book, the DVD or the toy can also be ordered online. The person will just have to pay for this using a credit card and wait for a few days so this can be delivered into one s home.

Throwing a unique and memorable birthday party for girls aged 8-12 can be challenging. They are old enough to have outgrown the playground, but not quite ready for teenage activities yet. Here are several ideas to make sure your daughter s birthday will be a happy and successful event.

1. Roller or Ice Rink Skating Party - Your local roller or ice skating rink will likely have numerous birthday party packages to choose from. Typically, they have a party room that you can reserve with a host/hostess to run the party. The group of kids will normally get skate admission and rental, food, beverages, cake and ice cream, game tokens and more. Just check with your local rink for details.

2. Pottery Making Party - Pottery painting parties at a local pottery place are all the rage. Many pottery places allow you to rent a private room for the birthday party where the kids get to make and take their own personalized plate or bowl. They normally ask that you bring your own food and decorations, but again it depends on the local place so call them directly for details. When they are done, each child can have their creation fired in the kiln for a permanent souvenir from the party.

3. Formal Tea Party - This is a great idea especially for the younger aged girls. The idea is that the girls dress up in their “Sunday best” (dresses, hats, boas, white gloves, etc.) and are served a real tea time. You can either transform your own home into a cafe or see if there is a local tea place that offers tea parties for girls. If you decide to do it in your own home, just set up some kids size tables with white fabrics and doilies, some fresh flowers and of course formal tea party ware. Serve the “tea” (juice) in a teapot along with finger sandwiches such as heart-shaped bologna and/or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. For a great finish to the party, make a teapot-shaped cake. Before or after tea time, you could have a little fashion show so that each girl can show off her beautiful outfit. Be sure to take lots of pictures.

4. Swimming Party - Some local pools will allow groups to reserve the entire swimming pool area for a short period of time. Normally, they provide a lifeguard and staff who keep an eye on the kids and run games such as water ring tosses. Normally, they ll have a party room that is adjacent to the changing areas/restrooms where you can set-up decorations, snacks and cake.

5. Gymnastics Party - Try the local Gymnastics Academy to see what they offer. Often you can get some time for the kids with an instructor and then some time after for food and gifts.

6. Dance Party - Throw your own diva dance party at home or find a local dance studio that offers birthday parties for kids. The kids are transformed into dance divas and rock stars by doing their hair with brightly colored hair pieces, glitter and braids and then adding some cool make-up like sparkly glitter eyes, blush and lip gloss. Depending on the party music theme, you can have the party girls singing and dancing to your birthday girls favorite music or dances like the electric slide, freeze dance, etc. If you are having it at a studio, normally they will have karaoke microphones, lots of music to choose from and props for the kids. Be sure to videotape their performances!
