5 Ways to Make Personal Care Fun for Kids

, by Simply Kids, 3 min reading time

Introduction

Remember the time when bathing your infant felt overwhelming? You worried about holding them right, using the correct personal care products, and making sure everything was safe.

Fast forward a few years, and your little one is growing into an independent young human. Now, the goal is to help them build healthy personal care habits while ensuring they use chemical-free products that nourish and protect their skin.

1. Empower Them to Make the Right Choices

Children aged 4-12 are knowledge sponges! They absorb more information than we realize. Teaching them about personal care and why chemical-free products are better can make them feel involved.

How to Explain in Simple Terms:

  • Instead of saying "This product is free from parabens," try "Let’s find something made from plants!"
  • Let them explore labels and ingredients in a fun, interactive way.

Best practice: Make learning about natural kids products fun by turning it into a game or storytelling activity.

2. Make It a Bonding Activity

Let kids touch, feel, and experience the products they use. Set aside a daily personal care time where you both participate.

Fun Ideas:

✔️ Let them apply a moisturizer on you at bedtime.
✔️ Create a mini spa session with simple skincare steps.

Best practice: When kids see you following a routine, they’re more likely to adopt it themselves.

3.  Focus on Health, Not Just Looks

It’s easy for kids to associate personal care with looking good. But it’s important to shift the focus to skin and hair health instead.

💡How to Build Self-Confidence:

  • Explain that healthy skin and hair = happy skin and hair!
  • Encourage a fun self-love ritual – like blowing a flying kiss to themselves or saying, "I’m beautiful inside and out!"

Best practice: Link chemical-free products to overall well-being, not just appearance.

4.  Create Excitement for New Products

Finding natural kids products that truly work can be a challenge. So why not turn product discovery into an adventure?

🛁 How to Introduce New Products:

✔️ Start with a shampoo, then build excitement for the next item (like a skincare cream).
✔️ Let them experiment one product at a time until they understand the benefits and usage.

Best practice: Give them a choice – like picking between two natural scents or colors – to make them feel in control.


5. Praise and Motivate Regularly

Who doesn’t love a little praise? Kids thrive on encouragement, and positive reinforcement helps turn personal care into a habit.

🎉 Ways to Motivate:
✔️ Celebrate small wins ("Great job remembering your skincare routine!").
✔️ Use reward charts or fun stickers as motivation.

Best practice: Turn personal care into a positive experience rather than a chore.

Conclusion: Making Personal Care Fun & Easy

Helping kids embrace personal care should be fun, not a task! By involving them in choosing chemical-free products, making it a bonding activity, and celebrating their efforts, you can build lifelong healthy habits.

A great gift for your green friend, but definitely also for your less green friend. Does he or she not have a green thumb? Then follow the five steps yourself and make it for him or her yourself. Great story, right?

You can let your ‘I do have a green thumb’ friend figure it all out him- or herself!

Give it as a birthday gift, a housewarming gift, or whatever occasion you can think of. It makes for a different and unique gift. This time, gift the bottle but hold the liquor. That is, if you manage to give it away... We bet that this special eye-catcher will have a place in your interior in no time.
