Home Schooled Girl's 13th Birthday Ideas

Yes--slumber party, or craft party where the girls make something could be fun. Lots of choices for the projects, but a bath products themed craft party which would not be so expensive--you can make bath salts (sea salts/baking soda/natural color (or not) with herbs and or essential oils), bath bombs (same as above but with powdered citric acid from pharmacy), and glycerine soaps (add tint/essential oils/use candy molds, put in glitter or small toys, etc). Maybe make a home-made scrubby as well by making a pom-pom from tulle. Give as a party favour a basket to put all the goodies in at the end. Should be fun, not too much mess, and pretty original.

How about a pajama/pamper party? Rent a few fun movies (let her pick them out). Have lots of snack foods, buy tiny bottles of nail polish, body lotions, scrubs, hair barettes, and make-up (even if it's just lip gloss). Maybe some beads and stuff so they can make friendship bracelets. Ribbons and beads or buttons to decorate jeans or a T-shirt. A great gift for each girl would be a journal so she can post her dreams and ideas in. Be sure to have a fun game or two for them to play too. Have an adult close in case they need one, but remember --no intruding!!
