Theme: Birthdays With the American Girls


Our Spring Schedule:


March 8 Samantha 1904 - We will have a fancy party with petit fours and pink lemonade just like Samantha. Our craft will be a luggage tag because Samantha would have needed one on for her trip.


April 12 Rebecca 1914 & Claudie 1922-We will celebrate Rebecca's Jewish birthday during Passover and Claudie's in Harlem, both in New York. We will snack on frosted lemon cake & Egg creams. Our craft will be a star door hanger, and some games will be played!


May 10 Kit 1934- We will explore how birthdays were celebrated during the depression. Our snack is chocolate roll cakes & iced tea. We will decorate a container and plant some sunflower seeds too! September will kick-off American Girl Birthdays, so make sure you make it to club on your birthday month so that we can celebrate YOU!
