Addy: An American Girl Party

I hosted this event in February 2023 in honor of Black History Month. 

I took inspiration from Kelly's American Girl Club: Meet Addy event. 

I shared the following information:

• Addy Walker section from The American Girl Club Handbook (pp.72-75)
• Clothes section from The American Girl Club Handbook (p. 79)
• Spirituals section from The American Girl Club Handbook (pp.86-87)

We listened to This Little Light of Mine.

We played Ribbon’s End, a game from The American Girls Party Book (p. 46). 

For crafts we played string games. I taught the girls to make Jacob's Ladder and a Button Whirligig. I shared the Cat’s Cradle information on page 40 of Addy’s Craft Book. 

Refreshments: peppermint sticks, Nonpareils (Sno-Caps), jelly beans, licorice, lemonade
