Not long ago, I shared my story “Best Little Kid Gift Ever” about the joy that RockAbye Rockers have brought to the little tykes in our family. I received four of them when I was hired by the company to write about these wonderful toys.

Well, three of the rockers went to our kiddos who live nearby  but we held onto the fourth one to give to our great-grandson, Little B, on his first birthday.

The four rockers!
A plush toy rocker is a gift to remember – perfect for baby shower gifts, birthdays, and any gift-giving occasion. But how do you wrap one? That box is BIG! There are no gift bags large enough to handle it so I did it the old-fashioned way  and wrapped it in wrapping paper.

Unroll some of the wrapping paper.
Cut two pieces that fit on the ends of the box.
Tape them on each end using rolls of tape.

Roll out more paper, leaving it on the roll.

Place the box squarely onto the wrapping paper.

Gently pull the roll up an over the box.
Cut the paper off leaving some extra to overlap it.

Secure the open ends on the underside of the box with tape.

Now fold the ends around like an envelop and tape them.
The ends will not cover completely but your two ends already have wrapping paper on them. It will look nice!
Add a bow to the top and, if you have one, the card.
Done!

Enjoy!

American Girl Doll Room Decorating Ideas

Accessories and furniture for American Girl Dolls #toys #affiliate
Have American Girl dolls invaded your life? MacKenzie, my grand girl, absolutely loves American Girl with all the trimmings. What I love is that she has a real interest in the historical background that each doll “lived” in, as well.

The first doll she received, Molly, “lived” during World War II and Mackenzie wanted to know all about it. Hungry for knowledge, she read the book that came with the doll and it opened up many opportunities for us to answer questions she had about that time in history.
But Mackenzie’s love for American Girl did not stop there. Her mom, Shannon, hopped on the bandwagon, setting up a whole set of household scenes for hours of play. Mackenzie and friends are having so much fun!

American Girl is top notch, but a little on the expensive side. Using her bargaining skills, my daughter has made many a good deal on Ebay, winning bids on authentic American Girl dolls, clothes and accessories at a much better price. She filled details in her displays with other appropriately-sized doll furniture plus some very creative decorating ideas like the “horse trough” she made out of an end table! (pictured below)

One of the cute little additions that Shannon added was a mini rod to hang
doll clothes on.
Check out the tiny little clothes hangers!

American Girl does sell beds for their dolls, but Shannon found two of them at a garage sale. Perfect size and perfect price!
