Welcome to our hair salon.
We specialize in cuts and styles....and apparently manicures too.
Step 1: Stuff an old sock with plastic grocery bags, or other filler to make a head.
To make the sock stand up, slip it over a vertical paper towel holder, or a cardboard tube.
Step 2: Have your child create a face for your new customer. Draw eyes, a nose and mouth on a piece of paper, then cut them out and glue them to the head (we used hot glue.)
Step 3: Cut SEVERAL pieces of yarn, and attach them with hot glue to the top of the head.
Step 4: Hand your child some scissors and let them cut and style to their heart's desire.
This one was kind of a high maintenance customer and demanded to have her 'nails' painted too.
We also are known for making our customers very comfortable.
And the final result. I think she did a fantastic job.
And look at all that hair!
Girls will go crazy for this activity....but I'd suggest trying it out with the boys too. I imagine any child would jump at the chance to cut hair!
