Design a Heavenly Pet Wardrobe is one of the really cool products on the market that is geared towards older girls (8+). It allows them to design clothing and accessories for 5 paper dogs and embellish with the included glitter, ribbons, sequins, and stickers. You can make over a hundred different pet fashions with this! I love that it requires them to use their imagination. It is one of those gifts that you never know where it may lead. You may find you have a design in your midst. Also, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this item goes to the SPCA International.
English Style Equestrian Sketch Book is a great book for any horse rider or lover (8+). This design guide allows you to design your own horses, riding gear, jodhpurs, boots, saddles, and more for dressage, polo, and general riding fun. It includes 40 English-themed sketch pad pages, markers, colored pencils, eraser, sharpener, and design guide. A portion of the proceeds from this goes towards the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program.
The Project Runway Fashion Design Challenge Sketchbook is right from the awesome show. The spinner in this kit tells you where to start. The next step is to design a garment based on an endless combination of challenges such as creating a formal gown out of a garbage bag in 30 minutes. This comes with colored pencils, 2 fashion sketch pads, style guide, and pencil sharpener. You are only competing against yourself, but it definitely forces you to be creative.
Project Runway Shoe Design Sketch Book allows you to design a fun and fashionable shoe collection. The sketch book teaches you the history of shoes. You also are able to design your own line of footwear, and you are able to personalize your creations. Included in this kit are 2 sketch pads, 12 colored pencils, and a design guide.
Project Runway Graphic T-Shirt Design Studio Set allows you to make your own custom made shirts. It has a style to help you out, but the creation is all up to you. This includes 6 fabric markers, the Cooler Jeweler Tool (gem and stud setting tool), 50 gems, 50 studs, 2 yards of metallic ribbon, stencils, patterns, design guide and more!
The great thing with all of these kits is that it requires the child to think and use every ounce of creativity they have. The best part is that they are having fun while they do it, and there is not one battery involved. I found all of these products to be high quality and would recommend the Fashion Angels line to everyone!

Can I say that I absolutely love this alarm clock? This is an alarm clock that every kid needs in their room. Kids as young as 3 can even use this! Teach Me Time! Talking Alarm Clock is an alarm clock, a teaching tool, and a nightlight!
How can it be all that? Easy! For kids that are 3-5, you are able to set the clock, and you can set it to be a yellow glowing nightlight. Now, if you don’t want the kids getting up super early, you tell them they can’t get up till the clock light turns green. Now, I didn’t think that would really work, but it does! Well, it does for my four year old who thinks this clock is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Now, for kids that are 5-7 years old, there is a talking game (which we tried to play with Madison, but it was pretty hit or miss for her.) The alarm clock shows both digital and analog time, so it helps them learn to tell time. I am hoping that if we keep working on it with Madison that she get it at some point. Now, if your kids are over 7, the talking alarm clock works as a fully functioning alarm clock with a snooze button!
This alarm clock is a must have. It has three different bezels (blue, pink, and yellow) that you can interchange. This is not made with lead paint. It has adjustable volume too. You can even change the brightness of the nightlight. For us, this alarm clock keeps my daughter in bed longer, and we love it.
