American Girl Bitty Babies have infiltrated our homes and our Smarty little girls tote their AG dolls with them everywhere, even on special walks. Our dolls are loved so much, they get a little “worn” so treat your little one and her doll to the salon, while you enjoy a mommy-daughter date at the American Girl bistro. If you haven’t done this before, we highly recommend it. The girls feel so special and their dolls can even join you at the table with a special chair. It’s a lovely girls’ day out! We adore these experiences with our girls to make some fun memories together!
