American Girl School Ideas - 1970s

If you follow Julie Newman's 70s Time Capsule blog, you are familiar with Springfield Elementary School. I love this school because it is very similar to my elementary school from the late 70s. There are great ideas to inspire your own doll scenes.

    Yay! Hey thanks for posting this, Rhonda. The school segments of my blog are a lotta fun to do. Thankfully, portions of my house work weel for making school. The auditorium stage is the coffee table in my living room, and really does sit in front of that window. It looks just like the stage in the auditorium of my grade school in the 70s. The playground is my backyard, (no grass), and since it's cement, it's perfect for a school playground. The tether ball and basketball hoop is just stacked paper towel tubes duck taped together, w/ ribbon, and cardboard, the rim of a party cup and netting from some erasers I got. The school bus is just TV lap trays standing on their sides w/ pillowcases over them and a background I printed. The lunchroom were those same TV trays and a blanket, w/ cutouts from the weekly grocery supplement. The lunchboxes were purchased on Amazon and Ebay.

    I hope you enjoy the pictures!
