Luciana Inspired Homemade Galaxy Playdough

By Mom Note: This Post May Contain Affiliate Links Which Means We Earn a Small Commision.

We were inspired by the newest American Girl Doll, Luciana Vega and made a galaxy themed playdough! Making Galaxy Playdough is a lot of fun and is easier than you might think! DIY it by yourself or have a fun crafting session with the kids!

Meet Luciana Vega, the 2018 American Doll Girl of the Year

Luciana is the newest addition to the American Girl Doll family. She comes at the perfect time when a strong character is needed in our society. Luciana loves technology and STEM activities. She dreams of becoming an astronaut someday and inspires little girls to go after their dreams!

I love how the American Girl brand brings strong messages to little girls (and boys) that they can achieve anything if they put their mind to it. Luciana is bringing a subject long thought of as a “boy thing” and encouraging girls to engage and be excited about science.

Luciana comes dressed in a galaxy themed dress, a pocketbook belt, some iridescent shoes and a purple streak in her hair.

Whoever said being a scientist couldn’t be fashionable?

Like the American Girl Doll of the year before her, Luciana also comes with a story, the Luciana paperback book by Erin Teagan is included with the doll.

I encourage you all to head on over to a store to see the American Girl of the Year Luciana for yourself!  For more information and to purchase Luciana, you can visit American Girl on their website!

My daughter and I fell in love with Luciana and her galaxy themed dress so we took a little inspiration from her for our newest DIY craft, Galaxy Playdough!
