Free real-life learning guide / Ages 6 to 10
Would your child
like to have
their own spa?
Turn something they're excited to do into a real learning experience. Kids plan their spa, choose services, set prices, welcome a customer, manage what they earn and discover how their ideas can help others.
It started with
a real experience.
Our daughter wanted to open a spa. Not a pretend one. She wanted a real name, real services and a real customer. So we let her build it.
By the time the first appointment started, she had written a menu, set prices, prepared a station and thought about what to do with the money. We wrote down what worked and turned it into this guide.
From spa day
to real learning.
Seven steps, in the order a child would actually live them.

A printable that

Step by step, the guide takes your child from the first idea to opening day: naming the spa, designing a sign, writing a menu, pricing services, preparing a station, serving a client and deciding what their money will do.
Make it happen
at home.
You probably have most of what you need already. Print the guide, give your child an afternoon and let them run it.
- Print the guide, one copy per child.
- Gather towels, lotion, a bowl and a few small tools.
- Pick a time and a first customer.
- Let them lead. Step in only when asked.
A short list of spa supplies, nothing fancy.
Towels, a soaking bowl, lotion, nail tools, cotton pads. The guide includes a supply checklist your child can work through.
Check your house first. You probably already have many of the things you need.

Don't forget to give back.
Before the money gets spent, the guide asks one simple question: could some of this help someone else? A neighbor, a friend, a cause your family cares about. Children are very good at answering that question when someone gives them the chance.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.”
