My daughters received two design toys from Fashion Angels last week and happily got to work testing them out. The first course of action was to determine who would get which toy first. Thankfully, it was a peaceful negotiation that was resolved quickly and without parental intervention. Good to know that's still possible!
The finished products:
Project Runway Sticker Stylist is a book with drawings of model figures, and many stickers of various clothing pieces and accessories. The girls can use the stickers to dress and accessorize the drawings. Kind of like paper dolls but without having to do all that tedious cutting and trying to get the paper clothes to stay on. Another very fun project to occupy the kids and bring out their creative side. Of course, the sleep over pals all had to try the Sticker Stylist too!

The Interior Design Light-Box Lap Desk is a back-lit lap desk that comes with graph paper, templates of various furniture pieces, crayons and texture plates. The templates look like overhead projector slides. They're placed on the desk, over the graph paper, and then traced. Kids can choose fun, funky furniture and fixtures to design the room of their dreams and then color it. The day after they got this toy, the girls each had a friend sleep over, and everyone had to have a turn with the lap desk, designing their own room. All four girls really enjoyed it. We also discovered the desk is great fun to take along in the car during these short winter days. Running errands after dinner becomes fun time when they can draw in the dark, thanks to the back-lit screen.
