This works. My sister did this for her daughter last year. (she is 10). The girls had a blast!

Make-up for sure -also non-permanent spray in/comb in hair colors and hair decorations (raid the dollar store), teen quiz books, movie and popcorn, silly games and coloring books (really -they sort of take a backwards step and enjoy coloring again -so long as it's a team activity and you don't "make" them do it (watch them with younger kids -they can't help but take over and do the coloring for them)). We usually also have them make their own pizza with exactly what they like on it.

About that hairspray colour stuff. If there are any real blondies coming, don't let them use it. Although the colour is meant to be non permanent, it can stain the hair and is particularly noticable in blonde hair.

I know this from experience. a little blondie had red hairspray for some party or something, and she ended up with pink hair for a very long time.

btw, Drax, how did you find this thread so fast? Did the title attract you, or was it a vanity search?
