Embark on a spa day with your toddler as a healthy and fun way to show them your “silly” side!
An "at home" spa day may not be as relaxing as a day at the spa, but it is guaranteed to make you and your little one both smile, and what’s more important than that?

3-Ingredient Recipes for a Spa Day with your Toddler
Moisturizing Sugar and Honey Scrub
Fine grain sugar and honey makes a great moisturizing scrub. Using this scrub will slough away dead skin cells leaving your face or body feeling clean and radiant.
Try letting your toddler apply the scrub to your face with their fingertips, like they would finger paints. Gently rub in for 5 minutes, then rinse.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- Splash of olive oil to help blend
Another fun home spa treatment is an Avocado Mask. Check out our kid-friendly take!
Hydrating Smashed Avo Mask
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil or yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon of honey
Smash the avocado thoroughly, then mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl (we suggest letting your kiddo squish the avocado by hand). Let your little helper apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash off the face mask with lukewarm water or, better yet, run around in the sprinklers! Have fun!
