Your Child and Make-Up


Is your little girl getting curious about make-up? When is the right age to let a child experiment with make-up? It is a difficult decision for some. It is an easy decision for others. There is no magic book that will give you the right answer. The simple fact is that you have to judge the situation based on your child and yourself. People have different beliefs on this subject. That is perfectly ok. What is good for one is not always good for all.

Little girls have a great time playing dress up. A kids sized vanity is the finishing touch that kids need. You may remember yourself as a child dressing up in your mother's old clothes and putting on her make-up. While this is a fun experience, younger girls are starting to wear make-up at a younger age in their daily lives. Lip-gloss and eyeliner are becoming more popular for younger girls. Many times they want to look older, or their friends are wearing make-up.

It is important to sit down with you child and talk about this situation. It may be that you agree on the right age, or appropriate make-up. It may be that you do not agree. But, an open line of communication on the subject can do nothing but help you and your child's experience. Each situation is unique. Communicate with your child and find out what's right for the both of you.

Keeping Little Minds Busy

Do you remember a time when your child wasn't quite so talkative and the questions didn't come pouring out from the minute he gets up until he goes to sleep at night - and lately you notice he even asks questions in his sleep?

What you're seeing is a beautiful, busy mind at work. Don't be frustrated because you get interrupted constantly with questions that range from , "Why is the sky blue?" to "Why do I get in trouble for putting my face in the plate at the dinner table and the dog doesn't?".

The only thing you need to really work on is the interrupting part. While teaching them respect and manners is a very necessary part of raising a child, they also need to know that it is ok to be curious and ask questions, in fact - questions should be encouraged as discovery through questions is a huge part of learning.

Keep that busy mind filling with knowledge and give your child toys that will expand his mind. An Alphabet Train Floor puzzle is a great example. You can talk about the letters,discuss the animals and little facts you know about each type of animal with your child and he will be learning while playing and study after study has shown - children retain knowledge gained the play the quickest and best.

It's a Brush, It's Paint, It's Super Art!

Have you been looking for an activity for your kids that doesn't involve staring at a television screen for hours on end or simply watching a toy "play"? Go back to the basics and provide an activity that will give them enjoyment for hours on end.

Let your kids turn their imaginations loose and let them run wild with a Super Art table. This table has room for more than one child because creating is more fun with a friend and it comes with storage for everything your kids need to unleash their inner artist.

This isn't a cheap plastic table either, the table is constructed of durable hardwood and has a paper roll holder that will stay hidden away underneath the table so your kids will always have paper neatly stored away until they feel the need to create. When they are tired of creating on paper, the chalkboard-like tabletop surface will let them switch from crayons or paint, to chalk . There is a wood paper cutter, three recessed cup holes and a printed canvas storage bag to keep the art supplies both neatly put up as well as handy and within easy reach.

The intelligence of design even translates to the two benches that come with this table. They both have side handles making it easy for the toddler crowd to scoot right up to the table and create along with the big kids. The Super Art Table comes with three cups, a roll of 18" paper, and a storage bag.

Give you kids the gift of the art and encourage their the expansion of their minds through creative play - the rewards are limitless.
