With back to school coming way too soon (and it may have already come for you), I wanted to have a little back to school fun for the American Girl Dolls. I put together over 20 fun ideas for the dolls to have a great new school year, too.

My girls are getting older and don’t play with their dolls as much as they used to, but they still like doing some fun things with them.

I think it can help with the transition to new things or a new school year to do something fun for the dolls. It can help to play with them and work out what might be worrying your child. At least that is the case at my house sometimes. So, I put together a whole list of fun back to school ideas for the dolls.

I wasn’t exactly sure how to organize this post. I usually like to walk through an event or a day and take it from the beginning, so I decided the first thing you need for back to school is a new backpack. I made these cute backpacks for our dolls a few years ago. Back to School Backpacks from The Real Thing with the Coake Family

    Adorable ideas!! I love them all! The backpack really stands out as one of my favs, though and the duct tape bag. I just did duck tape crafts with my daughter for a sponsored post and I was too intimidated to try a tote, though I wanted to! Thanks for sharing at the family joy linkup!
