That was another thing I was disappointed in. There were no instructions included. I'm really not sure what the point of the stones are. I thought maybe tic tac toe... but I really don't know.

This set retails for $58. Set includes: Table: Plastic two piece table. The base is made to look like a log or tree trunk. The top is shaped like a flower. The inside of the trunk is hollow and can be used for storage. The top pops on and off. 2 Chairs: The first chair is butterfly themed the second chair is owl themed. Each chair comes with its own padded cloth cushion that ties to the chair'sback. The chairs are one piece of plastic 10 bug stones: 5 ladybug stones and 5 bee stones made out of a hard plastic or resin. These come stored in the hollow trunk I really liked the look of this set but admit the price is high for what it is. Being very plastic it is on the cheap side of the quality scale. The dolls also don't sit very well in the chairs or at the table. Since they are not stringed they sit in a very awkward v. You really can't push the chairs in without running the risk of toppling over the table and all the goodies. Which happened a few times during the taking of these pictures. The play value is high. My DD has played with this set for hours already.

She has a good wig. It is as thick as my most recent truly me when compared to the size of her head. Very straight and fine hair. I have braided it for my DD in a single back braid. I have not tried pony tails or Anna braids. Hair is easily manageable for a child even after cuddles.

Ashlyn's Tea for Two Party Set retails for $24 but purchased with a Wellie it becomes $19 This is my least favorite item of the entire collection. If my DD had not taken to Ashlyn and her love of tea parties I would not even own it. I really don't feel this is worth the price point at all. Set Includes: 2 Forks: the silverware seems to be made out of metal. This is the most worthy part of the set. Super cute. 2 spoons: see above 2 double sided place mats: one side is a place setting guide the other is a floral print. These mats are cardboard and will not hold up to play. Disappointing. 2 cups: these are plastic cups and very barbie ish 2 saucers: see above 2 plates: see above Owl teapot: this is just heavy plastic. Top does not come off it is just one sold piece of colored plastic. It is darling and I would love to own one for myself that looked like it, but really not ag quality at all. 2 "napkins": This was the biggest joke. It is literally small square pieces of crate paper. Like the stuff you get at the dollar store for birthday parties... except for a dollar you get 2 rolls. I was setting the table for the first time and of course the napkin got a small tear. What... in... the... world. American Girl shame on you. I would not recommend this set at all. Silverware is cute and of good quality. Pot is cute... but still cheap.

Willa's Nature Explorer set retails for $24 but when purchased with a Wellie the price goes down to $19. Set includes: Acorn belt bag- fits with velcro around the waist. The bag opens at the acorn cap and has a small piece of velcro to keep it closed. It is large enough to house the granola bar but too small to fit the bird watching brochure Canteen- top screws off so she can drink from it. Slings around one arm or thread through acorn bag waist Binoculars: Actually work. The two scopes can be adjusted to fit her face like a real pair. There is a snap closure that allows it to hang around her neck Granola Bar- empty card board box to look like protein snack Compass- flip open compass with clip to clip on her acorn bag. Not an actual compass, just a sticker decal. Bird watching brocure- very disappointing. Not even actual pictures of birds. I'm not even going to use it.

This was my favorite of all the sets. Not sure why but I just loved it. I do not seem to be I the minority with that sentiment as it sold out the first day in Nashville. The set retails at $24 but when paired with a WW the price goes down to $19. The set includes: Mermaid tail- this fits on the doll like an apron. It looks bizarre if she is seated but darling standing up Shell- the shell is cute with a pearl like coating. My DD9 automatically held it to her ear hoping ag had some how managed to mimic the sound of a real shell Message in a bottle- this is fun. I tried to unplug it but I was afraid to break it. It is a separate piece but fits very tightly so not sure if it's meant to open Seahorse plush- this little guy reminds me of a sea horse plush we purchased from build a bear a long time ago. Very cute and happy plush. The American girl tag attached to it is obnoxious. Treasure chest box- opens and fits everything neatly inside. The chest is plastic

My DD (9) purchased her Ashlyn from AG Nashville on June 24th 2016. This was the doll that she absolutely fell in love with. She is a darling little doll but she does remind me of Dora thr explorer. Especiallu, in the princess dress. My daughter's doll has a stiff leg and this does make her a little difficult to sit. Unfortunately she's bonded with specific doll so we are stuck with stuff leg and all. Like each doll, she includes a skirt, shirt wellies, underwear and headpiece. Her headpiece is a pink tiara and is not pictured. We didn't even make it 15 feet out of the store before the tiara fell off her head and was lost. I need to call today to see if we can get a replacement. I have noticed that the headpieces in this collection do not fit well enough to stay securely on the head.

I purchased my Willa at AG Nashville on June 23rd 2016. She is very special to me as her release and purchase was made on my birthday!! She is my favorite of all the WW. The only problem I have with Willa is thr back of her hair. Another board member described the messy back as if she had had her hair cut by an angry ferret. Since she is such a nature lover this may be true. I am scared to take her hair down. It is easily brush able if you take care to brush the locks around your finger to maintain the curl Her meet outfit is happy hedgehog themed. She comes with a skirt, shirt, wellies, bunny headband. The outfit is darling but the bunny headband does slide off her head kind of easy. Because it's an around the head elastic it doesn't fall off thanks to her pigtails

I purchased my Camille at AG Nashville on June 24th 2016. She was the second Wellie Wisher added to my collection. This is one of my favorite meet outfits. She comes with a shirt, skirt, wellies, underpants, and starfish clip. I give her outfit an A+ The clip is a little loose and I would be afraid it would fall out easily while being toted around. I absolutely adore her little beauty mark / freckle located under her right eye.
