My Favourite School Item From AG

I love all the AG school items but if I had to choose which one is my favourite, I would probably choose.... The School Desk Set For Dolls (that is now retired from AG). The School Desk Set is my favourite because it looks just like a real desk and I love how it comes with a math textbook because I love math.

If I am in a creative mood and looking to add school supplies for my doll that does not cost a lot,  I just made my own supplies!  So who likes to create stuff for their dolls?  If you do, these crafts are perfect for you.  These crafts are on: How to make notebook and pencil for your doll. Some things that you need:
1) lined paper
2) cardboard
3) scissors
4) markers/ pencil crayons/ crayons
5) string or you can use pipe cleaners or yarn
6) hole puncher
7) tooth pick

Notebook:
First you have to decide what size you want to make your notebook, then you are going to cut the cardboard as big as you want. Next you fold your piece of cardboard in half to make the base of the notebook.  Hole punch 2 holes near the folded ends (near middle spine) of the cardboard.  Now it is time to make the pages, so you are going to cut pieces of papers that are a little smaller than the folded size of the cardboard base and then you are going to hole punch 2 holes on both ends of the papers.  Assemble the papers inside the folded cardboard ensuring the the punch holed areas line up. Use your string to tie the paper and the cardboard together by looping through the punched holed areas.  Secure the string with a knot.  Finally it's time to design the cover and decorate however you want!

Pencil:
First you are going to want to get a tooth pick and make sure that one end of it is flat and then the other end is pointy.  Now your going to colour the flat end pink, then your going to colour the pointy end black and finally you are going to colour the whole middle area of the pencil yellow.
