Nice to know that we have so much in common! I find that its so much easier to teach children when we present it in a way that they can identify with. They can picture themselves in that time period with the help of American Girl books. Thanks for following!! <br />~ "Dolly Mama" tag:blog.my18inchdoll.com,2011-11-07:12691326 April 2011-11-07T13:24:02Z 2011-11-07T13:24:02Z What a wonderful and confirming article this was for me. I too am a home schooling mother with 4 daughters and I deeply value the contribution these dolls bring to our world.<br />My girls discuss history comfortably and with understanding. Each era covered sends us on a natural learning venture to discover what else was taking place in the world at the same time.<br />I am grateful to read your post and know that I am not alone in seeing the value of the books, dolls and extras as something far beyond toys. tag:blog.my18inchdoll.com,2011-07-08:11164080 Jm 2011-07-08T22:25:25Z 2011-07-08T22:25:25Z I agree, the world has changed and what was once an impressive and memorable launch is now no longer such. Sad day when we are no longer amazed and make something phenomenal commonplace.
