Diary Games for Girls

Imaginative Play Diary Games

• Inspired by the American Girl doll and book series, do-it-yourself travel diaries allow girls to flesh out the imaginary lives of their American Girl dolls. Girls print out pages of the diary and cut and fold them to create the diary. The diary is held together with decorative string and ribbon and features a section on the front cover for placing an image of the doll, which are also available through the American Girl website. Girls can write about the travel adventures of their dolls within the diary pages.
