Have you heard of the Precious Girls Club yet? If not and you have or know a girl in the 4-8 range you might want to comment on this post! I’ll share the details at the end of the post.
If you are like me, you get frustrated at the lack of role models and wholesome toys for girls. Girls that are past pre-school, but not yet pre-teen are in my mind the hardest to find these things for. Based on the Precious Moments artwork we all recognize, but updated for todays girls, The Precious Girls Club is a safe virtual world. The website offers games, quests, and virtual charms to reward good behavior both in the virtual world, but in real-life as well. Parents have the ability to log-in and reward their daughter with a charm as an incentive for going the extra mile at home. When girls log-in, their charms are part of a point system, a fun reward for offline behavior. The Precious Girls Club encourages girls to be just that, precious little girls, in a society where this time in a girls life seems to be shrinking smaller and smaller.
The online Precious Girls Club is based on chapter books. The books are great to read to your girls. I’m not sure how many families do that, but my girls all love to climb into our bed and read. Doesn’t matter if it’s myself or husband, but they all four love to be read to. My 6 year old is particularly enjoying the first book, A Little Bit of Fait. The illustrations are just enough to keep even the twins interested for awhile, but few enough that my 7 year old doesn’t think she is reading a baby book when she sneaks off with it to read ahead.
To celebrate the launching of all of this, I’m giving a few things away. I have ten online access code cards for the Precious Girls Club to give away and because my girls are liking the book so much I’ll also be giving away A Little Bit of Faith with five of those access cards. Ten commenters total will get a package in the mail from my girls and I!
To enter: comment and tell me what is precious about your little girl or little granddaughter or niece or whomever it is that would benefit from this prize. I’ll start with my girls (and their online names for the first time…that took too long didn’t it!):
- Jane is precious because of her trusting faith
- Liz is precious because of her tender heart
- CeeCee is precious because of her contagious giggles
- Brie is precious because of her cuddly ways
Rules:

- you (obviously) have to be willing to leave your email addy in the appropriate field and to give me your snail mail addy to recieve your prize (otherwise, how would I get it to you?)

- Deadline for entries: Friday, September 26th, 2008 at11:59 PM Eastern time
So what are you waiting for? Time is ticking and Friday will be here soon! Let me know how your girl is precious and I’ll get these things out in the mail.
Hi, I don’t have any kids yet–but I would like to enter this contest for my Cousin’s lil girl!
She’s precious because she’s a child of God. purposedrivenlife4you@gmail.com
My 2yo is too young for this, but I’ll say why she’s precious – she always asks to sing songs about Jesus.
My niece is closer to the age range, almost 4 – and she’s precious because she asks to call relatives who live far away (me included) to talk to them or sing them happy birthday. 
These are adorable….love that they teach “good things”.
I would like it for my granddaughter…..
She is precious because she came into this world 2 months early, weighing 3’6 and has now blossomed into a 4 year old, extremely smart, loving human being.

My daughter is precious because she is such a great helper. Weather it’s helping with her baby brother, helping around the house, helping daddy with the car, or feeding the dog, she is almost always willing to offer a helping hand!
I have two precious daughters. My oldest is about to be 9 and she is precious because she is my first child. We will always have a special relationship because of that. My middle child is my other daughter and she will be 7 next month. She is precious because she is very clever and funny. You can always count on her for a smile.

My 7 year old daughter is precious because she has a kind heart and absolutely adores her 2 year old little brother. She is such a nurturing soul. She loves to help change his diaper, dress him, read to him, and shows him kindness and love every day. She is an inspiration to me. I am blessed to be her mother.
My daughters are each precious. Megan is smart and helpful and willing to work hard.
Natalie is a thinker and likes to help people.
Jenna is precious because she wants to make people happy.
They would love to try out this game and read the book.
Thank you.
So I know its after friday, but we’ve had a heckuva weekend(starting from thur) BUT, I came across your blog on Martha’s and noticed you dont have ten comments yet- my little girls are still young however, I’d love this for them! I agree with the role model dilemma… and your grocery issues- we are having to go up nearly $100 in rent to get out of a terrible situation right now(note heckuva weekend), and while its worth it, it will REALLLLLY stretch us…we are so blessed here, but its still frustrating at times. wow to you for having 4 girls- I think I’m done with two!
BUT-
V- she’s the sweetest kid- when I let out a sigh she says, “Muma, why you fusterated? I love you, its ok.”
And C- she is THE HAPPIEST BABY HANDS DOWN… last weekend she had a 102.5 fever and still giggled most the day away- AND TOGETHER- they are even better! They love to drive with the windows down giggling non-stop about the wind blowing V’s hair EVERYWHERE and breezing C’s peach fuzz- my kids are bald till they are 2!
Have a good day!
