Grab your cardboard box and use box cutters to cut the sides so that it can lay down flat. I used my own hands to create the name salon but you can also use your child’s hand as well. Them with a black sharpie along the edge of the cardboard box. You can also trace their feet as well.

Draw in the nails on the hands and feet. You can also add necklaces and earrings to decorate as well to make it a fun giant makeover party!
