I need some direction for a project, and I am wondering what kind of stuff girls this age are into.

Art supplies, art supplies, art supplies, anything crafty really. She also likes games, especially card games and puzzles but really isn't into dolls, although she still enjoys soft animals for a short while.

Our daughter is 8 years old and into: Arts and crafts (especially drawing), beading, making books/writing stories, riding her bike, driving her Barbie Jeep, Barbies, Groovy girl/Lily dolls, animals of all kinds .... She especially loves going to the local Nature Center when the weather permits us to go, and rocks/gems/minerals.

And lately I've been thinking about teaching her to crochet.

My 12 yr old daughter is into anime, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, playing drums (she's a percussionist), Sims, reading fantasy and SciFi. She does not like any of the girlie stuff - my anti-girlie girl.

My 9 yr old on the other hand is into drawing, jewlry, pretty clothes, and everything girlie.
