I’ve discovered that babysitting is the perfect time for dress up games. Most often when you’re babysitting, you’re faced with hours of time without any planned activities. Filling those hours with fashion shows and dress up games is a great way to spend the time.
Start by adding a few important details to your babysitting backpack. Throw in some face glitter, face paints and hairspray. Bobby pins, junior lip gloss and nail polish will go over well, too. Show up ready for action with your backpack and you’ll have hours of fun.
Ask your young charge to head to her closet or playroom to pick out her favorite princess gown or outfit. She can dress any way she wants. Play princess with younger girls or rock stars with slightly older ones. Either way, once they have an outfit in mind, let her get dressed and then sit her down for a styling session.
Start with her hair. Get it up and sprayed in place. A curling iron might be required, but be extremely careful and only use it on older girls – never young ones who might wiggle. Then work on make up. A dusting of glitter and lip gloss is probably all you really need to give the little one a totally new look.
