Thermos[]

Turquoise plastic thermos. Purple base. Purple attached woven carry strap. Removable lid with American Girl of Today girl logo on top and molded handle. Removable internal purple cap.

While it does not function as a thermos, it does open completely and could theoretically have liquids placed inside, but this is not recommended due to cleaning difficulty.

Two sheets of light cardstock paper discs to decorate disk. First sheet has eight punch out designs (with print bleed over before punched):

  • Magenta, orange, and yellow rings with white starburst spokes.
  • Orange, Yellow, and purple curved spokes on red background
  • Yellow and Red spokes on green background.
  • Six AGoT Girl logos in purple, red, blue, green, hot pink, and yellow on yellow background.
  • Four AGoT Girl logos in red, green, blue and yellow on opposite quarter backgrounds.
  • Ten section rainbow swirl on white background.
  • Rainbow vertically striped with white lines.
  • Magenta, with white starburst spokes.

Second sheet is blank with eight white pop out discs for user to color before removing.

Paper Doll[]
