Princess Makeup Games

Paper Worksheet

• Many beauty students practice makeup application on paper sheets with faces drawn on them, and little girls can do the same. Draw an oval shape on a plain sheet of paper and make photocopies so you have several on hand. Then let kids draw on facial features, hair and a princess crown, using crayons. Give your kids some inexpensive makeup items and let them add pink blush, purple eyeshadow and red lips.

Mannequin Heads

• Mannequin heads can be purchased at most beauty supply stores, and you can pick a few up to let small girls play with some cheap makeup. Let them apply glitter gel and sparkly eyeshadows to the mannequin, for a real princess look. Keep baby wipes on hand to remove the applied makeup once the girls are finished, so that the heads can be reused.

Spinner Fun

• Use a spin dial from a game like Twister to come up with an impromptu princess makeup game. Buy some lipsticks and blushes at your local dollar store and place them in a bowl. Let little ones dress up in their favorite princess outfits, then take turns spinning the dial. When the spinner falls on a child's color, let her choose a makeup product from the bowl and apply it, to go with her costume.
