A fun activity that can be done at home is a Spa day… With this activity you and your child can do “pedicures” and “manicures” by simply using a large bowl or container.  You and your child can soak your feet or hands in the bowl with some bubbles.  If you have nail brushes or any other play brushes you can use that or just sort of massage the hands of feet in the water.  After soaking you can file the nails or just apply lotion.   (I usually use this as an opportunity to cut my children’s nails down too  😉 ) Next you and your child can take turns painting nails.

The next part of your relaxing day can be a facial.  Start by playing some very relaxing music.  If you have some soothing nature sound cds you can use that or even just find a station on the radio.  I like to use music that has flutes playing in it for this activity.   You can put cool whip on your faces as a mask and use cucumbers for your eyes.  Next, you can either lay down on the floor or across chairs while you and your child enjoy your soothing “facial”.   

When your facial is over rinse your faces and use a hand towel to blot your faces dry…
