We pulled out all of our "beauty gear" recently and played "beauty shop". It was a fun diversion from the occasional "I'm bored!"
We gathered our beauty supplies:
-brushes
-rubberbands
-play mirrors
-empty containers for pretend hair care products
-old make up brushes
We called our clients...We knew they would love a free styling.
We got to work! First up, a wash, blow dry and a good hair brush was in order!
Next up, the curling iron, for that "just so" look!
As always, a good time was had by all. After our clients, we decided to give each other makeovers (Sorry, no photos of that-it was pure hideousness!). It was called "The Bumble Bee" after our aprons and table cloth!
What fun! Sometimes I draw a face on a paper plate and let the girls go to town "making over" the plate with old makeup! Like you said...a break from the doldrums.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to spend some time together.
Your paper plate crown and matching bag is adorable. I am going to try your lovely idea with my little girl as I think she will love it.
