American Girl Dolls

Highlight from Amalia’s “Nature Note”:

When I go outside, I am inspired by looking at the bugs on my swing set. There is a creek beyond my backyard, and when I go out, sometimes I see toads. When I am outside in the summer, I hear crickets singing at night. I like when the leaves turn yellow, red, and orange in the fall.

Highlight from Madelaine’s “Nature Note”:

I am warmed deep down in my soul as I feel the plants blooming around me. Natural inspiration flows through me and encourages me to respond, and I feel a need to care for each living thing that crosses my path.

Highlight from Tess’s “Nature Note”:

I see the sunset and it makes me feel happy because of all of the beautiful colors.

Highlight from Jada’s “Nature Note”:

When I step outside and feel the wind against my face, it makes me feel like playing tag and gardening.

Highlight from McKenna Jo’s “Nature Note”:

Each season brings new and exciting memories. Spring always brings strong enough winds for me to fly my kite. The warm sunshine of summer heats the water while I swim. Fall allows me to enjoy the rainbow of beauty with the changing of the leaves. And most of all, I love that winter brings white, drifted snow for me to make snow angels.
