A very cool idea. But at a price that would make you hope she'll use it when it comes time for a wedding gown, too.....

from the site:

Every girl dreams of being a fashion designer. Now she can actually design her own clothes.

It all begins with the Designer?s Portfolio, which includes everything a young designer needs to begin the process, including fabric swatches, pencils, sketchpad, and a questionnaire for her and her parents to capture the details. She will choose from swatches of organza, taffeta, charmeuse, chiffon, and other fabrics to decide on her ideal material. Next she will create her design, then collaborate with a professional New York City fashion designer, who will translate her vision into a one-of-a-kind garment. They will consult on color, fabric, and fit to ensure a perfect rendering of your child?s dream design. For the finishing touch, a custom label, named and designed by the young designer, will be hand-sewn into her one-of-a-kind garment.

Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery of the Designer?s Portfolio. Allow 8 weeks from the time you approve your design for delivery of garment.

Eskimold and Super Shovel

First to recommend

Description

My kids had so much fun last year in a pile of snow they mashed up into a crazy looking igloo that this winter I'm going to spring for a "professional" kit, lol. This one has the plastic gadgets they'll need to get the job done. Check out the Super Shovel on the site, too....

From the site:
Snow day? Yay! Celebrate by making a real igloo. Just fill an Eskimold with a few shovelfuls of snow, and flip out a curved eskiblock. Snow-proof instructions tell you how to place the blocks and to use the plastic "eskisaw" to even everything off. You can also build straight walls for forts.

Kids can use the ergonomically designed, high-quality plastic Children's Super Shovel to carve a deep and wide path to their new and exciting play place.

Colors for both will vary; we will choose for you.

Star Performance Theater

First to recommend

Description

Perfect if you have a drama king or queen under your roof this Christmas....

from the site:

On stage! Young musicians, thespians, and fashion models (as well as announcers for and participants in every imaginable kind of performance event) earn a walk down this red "carpet."

Made of durable polyester with a mesh ceiling to aid air circulation, the theater features a curtain door both in back and front so performers can change costumes between acts or before the curtain goes up. Great graphics of speakers, footlights, and spotlights set the stage for real excitement. For ages 3 and up.

Young actors ages 4 and up can enchant the audience in resonant tones produced by our adjustable Star Performance Microphone. Use it in either handheld or standup position (with or without the headset) and be sure to go heavy on the applause button. Two speakers enhance its sound quality, and it will even play 4 background songs with echo sound (there's also room to add an MP3 player in the bottom to play your own music).

Dragons and Pagodas Building Blocks

First to recommend

Description

This is one of those toys (in this case, a themed series) that makes you say, "Why didn't I think of that?" Archiquest took famous architectural themes from around the world- Ancient China is the subject in this set- and re-imagined them in intricate and stunningly colorful detail on wooden blocks. The result? A visually exotic and educational take on a classic toy.

from the site:

Archiquest
Reconstruct the world's architectural masterpieces! Take the "tect" out of architect, substitute imagination, and you get a stunning set of building blocks.

Fully illustrated with original artwork inspired by famous architecture from around the globe, these blocks invite kids to share the amazing spatial, proportional, and dimensional discoveries celebrated in that architectural style.

Each set includes a hardbound book on the history and culture that inspired the architectural style it features.

Dragons and Pagodas features 50 blocks and 50 pages inspired by unique designs from ancient China.

For ages 5 and up.
