My old­est daugh­ter just turned 8 last month and I am rack­ing my brain try­ing to come up with some Christ­mas ideas. We have so many Bar­bies and Polly’s we just can’t han­dle any­more. She has an entire book­case full of books and tons of craft projects. I want to get her some edu­ca­tional, but FUN toys, activ­i­ties or projects. Noth­ing too main­stream like Webkinz (we are already own­ers of a few). Some orig­i­nal ideas would be great. Thanks!
