T

he 2018 UFDC Convention was filled with many activities for Junior Collectors. The week was kicked off
with a "Junior Meet and Greet," at which the young collectors received their "passports," made by Erica
Cruz. The passports could be stamped at various events attended during the week. Fun and educational
events held during the week included a program, two workshops and the "Passport to Adventure Junior Event,"
sponsored by the Blue Ridge Doll Club of Region 11. Prior to convention juniors were sent a design page to create
a "Passport to Adventure" costume for a doll. We were excited to see the creativity displayed on these pages!
The Junior Program was presented by Erica Cruz, who spoke about the history and evolution of the American
Girl doll and its company. The program was enjoyed by both junior and adult attendees. Erica repeated the same
program later during the convention, which was open to all attendees.

Victoria Christopherson chaired both Junior Workshops:

T

he first involved making and decorating a felt jumper, which would fit the souvenir doll that they would
receive at the "Passport to Adventure" event later in the week. Victoria, along with Kim McIntire, pre-cut
all the jumpers to size, and sewed snaps on each dress. To decorate the dresses, Kim and Victoria brought a
surplus supply of fun buttons, beads, sequins, ribbons, and trims. Junior attendees applied their designs using glue
and small wooden clamps. Overall, this workshop offered a fun activity to demonstrate their creativity. The adults
that accompanied them to the workshops also tried their hand at decorating the jumpers, so everyone had fun!
At the second workshop, Victoria taught the juniors how to make a vintage-style leather book bag for their
dolls. She provided squares of upcycled leather, tiny buckles, glue, and clamps for this project. Attendees
followed Victoria's step-by-step instructions on how to create this craft and were provided patterns to take
home and make more book bags at their leisure. In addition to a book bag, Victoria taught her students how to
make doll-size pencils and notebooks to fit inside. The pencils were made by cutting toothpicks into halves and
coloring them to look like pencils. Both juniors and adults shared in the enthusiasm of designing the pencils.
Victoria used pre-printed paper for the notebooks, which were cut out and assembled. In all, the workshop was a
complete success, and an exciting craft for the juniors to take part in.
In keeping with the convention theme, the 2018 Junior Event was entitled "Passport to Adventure." Juniors
and their sponsors enjoyed a buffet of snack foods including soft pretzels, cheese fondue, yogurt parfaits, cookies,
brownies, veggies, fruits, and lemonade. Each junior attendee received a wonderful souvenir doll generously
