Visit our newly-redesigned Web site for the 2010 Springfield Collection and meet five girls destined to be your best friends. These adorable—and affordable—dolls are named Sofia, Olivia, Madison, Abby and Emma. The popular, 18-inch, quality-made dolls have arms and legs that move, long, brushable hair and big, lifelike eyes that close. They’re all unique, but one thing they have in common is they want to get to know YOU.

The site provides plenty of engaging features, including a Why Springfield? section that gives details about each doll, as well as the name Springfield itself. (For instance, did you know Springfield is the most common name for cities and towns in America?) In Meet the Girls, you also can learn about the dolls’ background and interests, including their favorite color, memory and hobby. But most fun of all, the Doll House section offers a peek at the different outfits, shoes, accessories and gift sets made just for these dolls. Come see the girls and you’ll find yourself mixing and matching to come up with new, exciting ensembles!

The room became filled with Viking Ships, Race Cars, Fairy Huts and Princess Castles during Kids Day on March 18, 2010. Second-graders from Mrs. Claudine Mele’s at Wheeling’s Walt Whitman Elementary School joined us at our Fibre-Craft Materials Corp. headquarters in Niles, Ill. The students had a wonderful time hearing about an exciting line of games called Edu-tivities, which are designed to make learning fun for kids. They also did two projects. The first was All About Me, which encourages kids to express their personalities through visual art. The second involved Creative Hands Fun Kit project ideas. The day also featured a warehouse tour, a pizza lunch and goody bags.
