Tweens are oh so mature one moment, and playful little kids the next.

9 Year Old Birthday - A Spa Party

The first activity at this party appealed to the little girls in them.  They each made a cake doll using materials that a friend, who is also a professional baker, provided.  (For professional results, take a look at Cake Fun.)

After finishing the hard work of cake decorating, they were ready for some pampering: facial, manicure, and a hot tub soak.  (Cosmetics, Headbands, and other “musts” were from The Dollar Store.)

 

With tweens, it’s sophisticated styling one moment, and the “George Washington” aquatic hairstyle move the next.  Even the ultra-serious tango gets a playful edge.
