Go! Go! Sports Girls

Giveaway

September 18, 2010

As parents, we want our children to dream big and have positive influences in their lives that enable them to reach their goals, right?  I love how times have changed significantly and that girls are encouraged to be whatever they want to be.  Go! Go! Sports Girls has the same theory behind their dolls --they want to empower girls  to be all they can be.  Creator Jodi Norgaard, personally involved in sports and familiar with working with young girls, developed a line of toys that encourage girls to dream big, be active, and live a healthy lifestyle.  She saw a need "for a positive doll for girls that would be age appropriate, proportioned properly and send a positive message about a healthy lifestyle – physically, mentally and emotionally – through sports.”

She has succeeded in that mission, with the creation of Go! Go! Sports Girls.  Each doll--there are currently eleven varieties to choose from--has her own distinct personality and interests. Your daughter can pick from different characters--each has a personality all their own--a sport they are interested in, an example of healthy living, and more. 

I received Cassie to review.  She plays soccer, dressed in her uniform, with a detachable sports bag and soccer ball.  She is plush and soft and sweetly individual.  Want to know about Cassie

"Cassie is speedy and loves to score goals! Her favorite soccer position is right forward. Before playing, Cassie always puts on sunscreen and stretches. During the game she drinks plenty of water and at half-time she eats a healthy snack, like an apple. When Cassie is off the field, she likes playing board games and swimming.

Cassie likes to Dream Big and Go For It!"

Cassie, along with all the other Go! Go! Sports Girls are great toys that set a positive example for young girls.  I was very impressed with the message of Go! Go! Sports Girls and am excited to share these products with you.  You can learn more about the other dolls online at www.gogosportsgirls.com.  You can purchase them at the following retailers:  Target, Amazon, Kohls
