follow-up adventure has Josie traveling to Ancient Egypt.
This Strawberry Shortcake site is presented by American Greetings. It

for other cute characters like Holly Hobbie and the Care Bears.

through ten, although some of the printables are appropriate for younger
children.

My Pop Studio challenges girls to think about media messages through some innovative and fun games.
In the music studio, girls can create their own pop star with her own
look and message. They can then design their own song from a variety of
elements and watch their pop star perform it. Other girls can rate the
performance and try to guess the message that is trying to be conveyed.
Girls can also create a television clip, comic book or magazine
layout. Each activity teaches a different lesson, but they're
educational without being too preachy.
Additional materials are available on the site for educators who want to use the activities in the classroom.
