Slumber Parties For Kids And Their Best Friends

As our kids begin elementary school they start making friends and eventually find a group to hang out with and one particular individual who will become their "best friend". These friendships are very important as children grow because these relationships help to develop skills necessary in life, such as interaction, communication, cooperation and problem solving. Kids will also develop emotionally when interacting with friends.

Children put into practice, learning how to control their emotions and reacting to the feelings of others. They expand their ability to reason and discuss different circumstances that arise in their relationships. Having a "best friend" and a group of friends to hang out with also effects how well they will perform in school. Most will agree that a good attitude about attending school while having friends in the same school makes for a happier learning environment. The advantage of having friends leaves a positive effect on children. This article will focus on slumber parties for your child, their best friends, and their inner circle of pals.

For girls and boys, they love to have their friends spend the night. This seems to be a kid favorite and age doesn't matter as even young toddlers love to spend the night away from home. Sleepovers are at the top of the list as one of their most favorite activities. Fun activities for sleepovers include pizza and if they are old enough baking one with mom's help. Of course, watching movies and eating popcorn or playing video games are popular options for boys while girls will tend to enjoy making craft projects, jewelry projects or playing dress up, styling each others hair and applying makeup for fun.

Whether you have boys or girls one of the coolest things about slumber parties is having a really cool sleeping bag. Cool sleeping bags are not the ones used for outdoor camping trips but rather ones made for indoor use in fun prints and bright colors. They come in unique patterns, from playful puppies, adorable kittens to down on the range with horses of all sorts. Retro patterns in hot pinks, purple swirls, and of course chic fabrics and you will have a fantastic looking sleeping bag. Give your kids bragging rights and invest in indoor sleeping bags.
