Hobbies And Interests
Play Beauty Salon for Real
Let your daughter(s) play beauty salon games for real. Set them up with a mirrored vanity at which they can sit. Buy them their own makeup. Inexpensive makeup designed for girls can be readily found in the store. Don't forget nail polish and nail files. There is also a line of press-on nails made especially for little girls. They'll need brushes and combs and cheap hair clips and bows. Perhaps host an afternoon party in which several friends can come over and wait their turn at the beauty shop. Set up chairs, just like in a waiting area and provide a television with some entertainment or play some music and have books and magazines they might enjoy. Perhaps set up two chairs before mirrors and let two girls play. One might do hair while the other does makeup.
Add in Beauty Spa Treatments
Adding in a couple of relaxing spa treatments can complement a day's play at the salon. Before fixing the face, hair and fingernails, some girls might enjoy doing facials and hand treatments. For the full effect, have a bathrobe ready, one large enough to fit over the girl's clothing, and a towel for wrapping around her hair. Then let the girls begin with a relaxing facial. For this, you can find many clay masks that simply smooth on, dry and then are washed off. Of course, for the full effect, though little girls won't have puffy eyes, have sliced cucumbers ready for them to lay across the eyelids. While relaxing with the facial treatment, the girls could begin a paraffin hand softening treatment, under adult supervision of course. Use the paraffin dip appliance at the lowest setting. The pampered girl then dips her hand into the warm paraffin and lets it soak, according to the machine's instructions. After the facial is washed off and the hands cleaned of paraffin, the little lady will be ready for her makeup and nail treatment, either with polish or press-on nails.
Play Beauty Salon Online
Your daughter can also play various beauty salon games online. There are games in which the player must successfully run a beauty salon. In others, the player dresses up a computer character, which could be a generic girl or a character your daughter would recognize such as a Bratz girl. These games are far less messy than the real thing, especially for younger children. Supervision is always recommended. Check out any website first before allowing your daughter to play on it. Check out the sites Hotgamesforgirls.com and Girlgames4u.com which are listed below for on line salon games.
