I was really into those Fashion Plates, so I highly recommend those! I also got really into make collages from fashion magazines with different outfit ideas - I guess like real life pinterest (if only I had made that idea into a website, darn.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2850067 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 10:36:14 +0000 hellobeeboston 2850067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: Adorable! And great drawing, very impressive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849781 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 10:36:45 +0000 808love 2849781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this thread!! Such cuteness. Love all the ideas above and artwork. I think music has a lot to do with style. She is certainly finding her style! :) I think make a style wall or collage to put on her wall. Think real life Pinterest board. Pics of things that she loves that makes up her style.</p> <p>I think DD is coming in to her own style right now in second grade and I just love her outfits. I certainly didn’t have a style until late high school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849645 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 07:35:25 +0000 JCCovi 2849645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So funny! Recently I was making elastic hair ties with my 5 yo DD and I had a ton of colors. She’s usually really into pink and she loved the pink ones but when she saw the gold print on black she said ‘’Oh my goodness this is so stylish.’’ 😂 I wonder where these girls are picking that up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849636 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 23:45:51 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2849636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: so cute. And cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849626 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 21:44:06 +0000 Corduroy 2849626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just an update: Today I took DD to a Girls’ Festival. Among the STEM and athletic stuff (which she enjoyed) there was a booth for a business that bills itself as a fashionista school. They have sewing classes (8+) and other activities like fashion drawing that I think DD would like if the age level was right. DD colored this pic as part of their activity. Apparently this picture is “stylish”. I got some extra sheets and I can’t wait to see what else is my daughter’s style. This week she has told me headphones and grunge (she called it dirty) are stylish. Pink and red are not stylish. I’m learning so much. </p> [attach=3529/18/pg7jlj.450x600.493A95E8-6210-45FC-8B53-B791832D8842.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849422 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 10:23:56 +0000 periwinklebee 2849422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: Color me a nerd, but I love learning about how what is stylish changes across time and cultures. Perhaps show her what was stylish when you were 5 (for me it would be 80s hair, lol) or her grandparents were her age. Look up archives online of old fashion magazines, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849394 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 08:27:06 +0000 looch 2849394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Style could also be applied to her bedroom, maybe she has interest in creating her own works of art and displaying them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849351 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 22:23:45 +0000 daniellemybelle 2849351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 5 year olds need to be friends. She is very into being stylish as well. It is a favorite word of hers, along with fashion, which is an adjective. "Mommy, you are so fashion today!"</p> <p>She loves mommy/daughter dates to the nail salon, and she also loves giving me makeovers (picking out clothes for me to put on, doing my hair, doing my makeup, painting my nails). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849336 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 20:06:35 +0000 lamariniere 2849336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, this is a super cute problem. Depending on her definition of stylish, maybe take her to buy some sparkly nail polish (let her pick) and then do your nails together? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849323 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 19:34:32 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2849323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: bahaha. Ditto. My poor kid(s) because I guess my son could also be into that one day. My hubby and I are plain janes.</p> <p>I'd do some kind of spa either in or out of the house, make necklaces/bracelets, get blow outs (I can't believe I typed that! I know people do it, but it is so far out of my realm of understanding) get magazines and make style boards? Let her browse pinterest with you for her own fashion inspiration board, give her a little plastic drawer set to build outfits in and then get accessories that go with them?</p> <p>I hope you report back with what she liked/wanted when you figure it out. It could be useful to me in a few years if my daughter throws that at me. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849312 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 18:10:24 +0000 IRunForFun 2849312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man I'm nervous my DD will be like this, and I'm the least stylish person ever. </p> <p>Do you have one of those fancy kids salons in your area? I've seen them popping up more and more. I know they do birthday parties but I think they also do individual stuff, or "BFF" appointments.

A shopping trip to Claire's to pick out some fun 'beauty' supplies?<br /> I used to love cutting designs out of magazines, so picking up some fashion magazines and having her cut out outfits she likes.<br /> A fashion design kit like this: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kahootz-Fashion-Plates-Deluxe-Kit/dp/B00IZN74H6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1538669434&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=fashion+designer+kids" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Kahootz-Fashion-Plates-Deluxe-Kit/dp/B00IZN74H6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1538669434&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=fashion+designer+kids</a> (also had a similar one as a kid and loved it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849208 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 10:55:49 +0000 Dahlia 2849208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Without knowing exactly what she means by stylish...Craft projects making bracelets/purses, drawing (or having you draw) her own clothes designs, taking her to talk to someone stylish or in a stylish field about what they do, looking at magazines, making collages from those magazines, going for a pedicure, going out to tea somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849205 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 10:45:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2849205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me too!

It can mean so many different things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849175 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 08:54:42 +0000 Mama Bird 2849175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe ask her what she thinks "stylish" means, and go from there! </p> <p>My three-year-old is obsessed with stylish things too. She wants to wear something new every day, is very particular about her shoes, and loves necklaces and pretty hair clips. Even better if we dress up together :happy: I think when she's older, I'll teach her to make necklaces, knit, and decorate clothes with sequins and stuff. And clothes shopping together could be fun, but trying to hold off on that for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849167 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 08:38:07 +0000 smuckers 2849167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about HER taking photos and "styling" you/a still life? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849157 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 07:29:58 +0000 Ajsmommy 2849157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drink ginger ale or sparkling juice with raspberries in it out of champagne flutes :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849156 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 07:28:47 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2849156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: haha agree.

Or--play silks...you could get a few 36"x36" squares of colorful satin at a fabric store and some alligator clips and get creative with fashion shows.</p> <p>So tricky to know what she's looking for! Good for you though, you're doing an amazing job...how fun :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849120 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 23:26:32 +0000 PurplePeony 2849120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Playing salon and either styling her hair or letting her style yours? My DD loves to brush my hair and load it up with hair clips...it’s not all that much fun for me because she’s not exactly gentle with the brush, but she has such a blast I give in now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5yo-wants-me-to-support-her-stylish-interest-ideas#post-2849119 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 23:18:16 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2849119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a trip to Barnes and Noble to flip through fashion magazines? </p>
