WHO remembers American Girl dolls?
Of course you do.
WHO loved their doll SO MUCH and wished they lived in the time period of said doll.
I DID.
Let’s take a look back on the three original dolls from our childhood:
Kirsten Larson: 1854
Kirsten lived on the American frontier, immigrated from Sweden, and went to school in a one room school house. She wore sweet braids in her hair and a blue flowered dress and a red checkered bonnet. LOVE the olden days. I wish wish wish I lived in this time period. Oh the simple days– livin’ on the land.
Samantha Parkington: 1904
Samantha lived with Grandmary in a Victorian mahhhhnsion. She had an awesome 4-poster bed and beautiful golden locket. And she hung out with sweet Nellie and trickster Eddie Ryland.– Had an super fancy wooden desk with an inkwell. Oh, feathers. How lovely.
Molly McIntire: 1943
Molly. Cute little freckle faced, glasses wearing Molly. Molly lived during the second World War. She wore pigtails in her hair and a traditional plaid jumper. A big dreamer, she was. Lively and loveable: a true American girl.
Which American girl doll did you love and cherish?
I had Kirsten. Meg had Samantha. Becca had Molly.
Oh, the good old days with classic American Girls.
