Sleepover Birthday
Girls love a sleepover birthday. At this sleepover birthday go beyond movies, munchies and staying up all night, with this fun-filled sleepover party for girls ages 8-12. When you combine pajamas, facials and manicures the sleepover becomes a spa birthday party. Be sure to designate a large space in your home for your spa birthday party, by arranging furniture and other items.
Sleepover Birthday
Provide several floor pillows, couch cushions and blankets for a comfortable space for the girls to hang out. Hang twinkle light strands around the party area. Decorate the birthday table like a bed using a twin sheet and a pillow at the head and spread confetti stars on the top of the sheet. Make sure that guests bring pajamas, sleeping bags and a pillow to the sleepover birthday. Simple spa treatments like manicures and facial masks make wonderful activities for the little beauty queens.
A fun craft for the beauty queens to take home is an adorable sleep mask. Visit www.treasureboxkids.com for children’s clothing and ideas. Look through our archived blog posts for more activities, crafts, tips and birthday party ideas.
Sleep Mask:
Create a template to trace onto craft felt. Punch holes in the sides of the felt to attach mask ribbons.
Facial Mask:
For one girl’s face mask, mash a quarter of an avocado in a bowl, then stir in one tablespoon of yogurt. Apply fixture to the face with a sponge, avoiding the eyes. Place a cucumber slice over each closed eye. Wash off facial mask after 15 minutes.
Manicure Station:
Light colored and sparkled nailpolish works for little manicures. Mom can create a little appointment book for guests. A bowl of soapy water to soak little hands is a great touch.
Baby Bouquet
A baby bouquet makes for a beautiful baby shower centerpiece as well as a useful gift for the mother to be. This baby bouquet is simple to make and versatile enough to fit any baby shower themes. Baby socks are rolled and attached to green floral wire and wrapped with green floral tape to make roses for a beautiful baby sock bouquet. You will need 6 pairs of baby socks to make a dozen roses, a vase, green floral wire, green floral tape and additional greenery.

Baby Sock Bouquet Instructions:
1. Place one sock in front of you with the toe pointing to your left. Work on a flat surface to roll the baby socks.
2. Roll the sock up. At the toe, begin to roll the sock. Roll it to the right, until you get to the cuff, or the very top part of the sock. Make sure to roll each sock tightly, so it stays in place and doesn’t fall apart.
3. Place your thumbs on the roll to hold it in place. Use your fingers to pull the cuff up slightly over the bottom part of rolled portion of the sock. The cuff will hold the rose in place.
4. To make the shape of a rose, find the toe of the baby socks and pull it up a little bit.
5. Insert a 12 inch long piece of green floral wire deep into the opening underneath the bottom of the rose.
6. Use green floral tape to wrap the rose and wire in place. Be sure to wrap the tape several times to keep the sock and wire securely together. Continue wrapping the base of the rose with the floral tape. Continue down the wire stem to the bottom and cut the tape. Repeat this process to make as many roses as you want for the baby sock bouquet.
7. Place the roses into a vase; add additional greenery, other floral pieces, baby’s breath and/or other small flowers to add volume to the baby sock bouquet.

Kids can decorate a personalized tote for their parents to use at the grocery store. A personalized tote can be reused in the place of plastic bags when shopping. Plain canvas bags can be found at most arts and craft stores. Decorate canvas bags with fabric paint and cookie cutter shapes.
Personalized Tote
Lay the canvas bag flat, place a cookie cutter on the fabric and draw around it. Paint the inside of the cookie-cutter shapes with fabric paint. Use colorful pens to draw designs, handprints, lines, angels, flowers, inspirational sayings, hearts, or even iron-on photos of your family on the bags to create your own personalized canvas tote.
