Fun Freetime: Kiddie Spa

You can pamper your daughters (or sons, if they're interested) very inexpensively and make them feel like their getting a "spa day." Start out by putting a child-friendly lotion (baby lotion or natural lotion) on her skin, and cucumber slices on her eyes. Relax for a few minutes. See who can hold still the longest.

Then, experiment with hairstyles. Brush her hair, and have her brush yours. Pick out some new styles from a magazine and try to copy them.

You can do a manicure/pedicure as well. Soak the nails to soften them, then trim and use child-friendly nail polish.

Finish off with a massage. Gentle touch is an amazing way to bond with your child. And there's no real "right" or "wrong" way to do it. Just rub her back, arms, and scalp for a few minutes rhythmically while paying soft music.
