What Do Third Graders Think of Pack-n-Go Girls?

Pack-n-Go Girls visited a third grade classroom in Colorado Springs this week as part of a discussion on entrepreneurship. After showing the Pack-n-Go Girls book, purse playset, and dolls concept to the third graders, they took part in a challenge to provide their comments for our blog. They are excited to see their blog comments live on the internet tomorrow. So here it goes!

“I think Pack-n-Go Girls are cool and unique. I think that it is cool because it has a built in doll set,” wrote one little girl. A couple of other girls liked the dolls and playset commenting, “the dolls are very cute,” “really cool dolls for girls,” “you get to play with Brooke and Eva while you read the book,” and “there is a cool playset.” Another third grader didn’t want to leave out some of the other kids at school and commented, “2nd grade girls will also love to play.”

We showed our prototype purse using locally sourced materials, which we hope to be even more colorful when we have a fully manufactured product. And, of course, there are always opinions on colors: Pack-n-Go Girls is interesting “because it’s pink and purple and mixed with a mystery.” While another contradicted this saying the house was too pink. She told me she would like more blue included.

Some of the boys in the room had a good time laughing and joking around about having to comment about a girls toy and book. They wrote, “It doesn’t look fun,” “it’s fun and funny,” and “it’s interesting because its really weird.” But some of them thought mysteries were fun to read (well, maybe not ones about girls!).

We also had some real sales and marketing professionals in the room who commented:

“Pack-n-Go Girls are really cool. You can go anywhere and they’re handmade. Also the books are cool. They’re mysteries and they’re in different places.”

“It is a convenient way for girls to get to read more often, and girls can play with it on the go.”

“Pack-n-Go Girls are a great idea. First, if you get bored, you can play with the doll anywhere you go and read the books and there are purses. I think the Pack-n-Go Girls are awesome for many reasons.”

And last but not least, “Pack-n-Go Girls should be in a movie. And they should make more books because it’s so interesting to little girls.”

Of course, we won’t turn down the movie licensing when they coming knocking on our door
