My students had an incredible time exploring hairstyling careers. They were so excited to dive in and try out different tools on the doll heads and even on their own hair! At this age, fourth graders are still curious kids, eager to learn about the world around them while having fun. The doll heads were a huge hit! They absolutely loved styling the hair and experimenting with all sorts of different hairdos, not to mention the hair clips and the hair stamper—they had a blast! We also had two wonderful moms volunteering with us, and they really enjoyed the positive energy and the kids' respect for their careers.
