My kids like the posters and stickers, but by the same token you dont necessarily need to make it all that fun.  Remember this is work, they need to be taught a good work ethic, and not taught that all work will be exciting and fun.  Just my opinion, but my kids do it regardless of what it is and they are learning very well!

I have no statistics for you, but the biggest success I see is in getting manufacturing contracts with the western world.  There are an amazing number of things in our marketplace which are made in China.  They are designed by Americans (or whatever), but then those designs are taken by the Chinese factory and turned out fast and cheap and generally pretty good.  They allow the American company to set the standards of quality in most cases, and meet that standard.  \n\nI am a doll collector, and most porcelain and an awful lot of vinyl dolls are made in China these days, along with a goodly percentage of doll clothes and accessories.  You will see the limited edition of a beautiful doll by a famous doll designer, and then a year or so later you will see the manufactured doll from China.  They are often distinguishable only by an expert.  Or, to be more fair with their customers, the limited edition designer who makes it big designs similar, but not the same, dolls to be manufactured overseas.

Try Wal-Mart.  They carry a lot of Bratz products.  Last year they had Bratz flip flops.

The type of popularity highlighted in The Breakfast Club and Mean Girls, is actually a relatively new phenomenon in our culture. In a nutshell, it can be seen as the consequence of teenagers living in a consumer society, a society whose economic existence depends on people constantly having a desire to consume.  Marketers, in various ways, create artificial premium importance on many goods by convincing teenagers that -- by consuming them -- they will gain social acceptance.  This drive to be accepted, though natural for social creatures like humans, is compounded by the fact that objects and group affiliation now offer a tangible way of 'declaring' just how accepted someone is.  For example, the 'preps' who wear Abercrombie and are always seen at the shopping galleria can declare their popularity by buying a certain brand of clothing, which marketers have manipulated their peers into thinking makes them more popular than someone who wears Brand X.  Further,  teenagers in a consumer society have far more free time and disposable income than did teenagers just a century ago.  Time that would have been spent doing chores or working in the field, is today used by teenagers to contemplate their popularity and to work on improving it.

Native arts and crafts, as well as music and dancing, have gone all over the world.  That's a marvelous thing for the economies of the developing nations, because they can be cottage industries and individual efforts (in the case of performing arts), and therefore not only promote and maintain native crafts, but bring economic boon and promote tourism.  Not every country is eager to go through an "industrial age," after all.  It is now possible to develop right past the dirty smokestack phase into modern, much cleaner technology, and maintain a sense of culture along the way.\n\nIt's a boom time for collectors, obviously, for a wider area from which to collect.  I'm a doll collector, and you should see some of the incredibly beautiful dolls coming out of the countries that used to be behind the iron curtain!  Superb!

Because they are addictive.

They are very popular in vehicles now. The combination players actually add a bit of value to used cars.

Because it's fun! And, because it's the only way to get your own kids, and, because, it's the most sacred way to tell someone how much you love them. Plus it's fun! Peace. :)

What makes them popular is that people just really want to be around them. Maybe it's their personality, maybe they have a huge built-in swimming pool. Whatever they have, it's something that people want.

Most teens like to be noticed so they attract as much attention as possible. Also teens mimic, and would do some of the so called hip things their favorite celebrity or other role models do. For some, it's all about fashion and style.

I think they're so popular because people have become fixated on stuff that is instant, and zipping pictures of their cars, pets, kids, etc.... into cyberspace via email is the perfect way to get instant gratification, and brag/show off at the same time.

Many many people like them.  I\n\nOn the other hand... It can be viewed as a  gift given to someone from someone saying "Here, I don't know what to get you so go figure it out yourself".\n\nI think it makes the giver of the gift look rather like a deadhead, someone who won't take the time or can't pick out simple gift for someone they care about.

They have these new things out now with posts and metal balls -- the ends of the posts are magnetic so the kid uses the posts and magnets to build stuff.  I'm a grown man and I think they look cool.  I'm sorry, I forget what they're called, but even Wal-Mart has them.\n\nOtherwise, model cars and aircraft would be a good thing for a kid that age.  They don't all use glue, some snap together.

Aw! I love that, it means she is still innocent at heart--that's the sweetest thing ever!! \n\nBy the way I watch spongebob, jimmy neutron, and the bratz cartoons with my kids.  I enjoy them just as much as they do.\n\nMy 12 year old has the entire Hello Kitty bedroom, curtain, rugs, bathroom set.  I think it's sweet.\n\nAs a parent you never want to watch your little girl turn manic teenager overnight, the longer a child can remain a child, the more well rounded she will be when adult.  At least I can say that for myself. I played with Barbies till I was 14 myself.\n\nLet children be children for as long as they can, adulthood last forever, but childhood is but a fleeting moment in our lifespan. Th!nk about that!
