Hello everyone my name is Destiny Grace Watkins. My mommy& daddy are Gordon and Diane. Chase & Joseph are my brothers. I am 2 years old. My birthday is April 6. My favorite TV show is Barney. When I was 1 year old I had a Barney theme party & this year he came to my house for my birthday. He was really big & scary , but brought me lots of toys! I am a church going girl and love to see all my friends there. They are my second family. I love to blow bubbles, dance, & sing all the nursery rhymes. I already know how to count to 10 & I know my ABC's. I always play with mom & dad’s IPad , and my brother’s Nabi tablet. But most of all I love to smile and give lots of hugs!

Things You'll Need Mixing bowls Wooden spoons Measuring cups and spoons Plastic containers with lids Blender 1/4-cup oatmeal Honey Yogurt 1 banana 1 tbsp. sour cream 1/2 cup strawberri
Step 1 Gather the ingredients to create the facial masks and place them on a large work area, such as the kitchen table. Have the children wash their hands and faces.
Step 2 Make an oatmeal-based mask by having kids measure and mix 1/4-cup oatmeal with 2 tbsp. of hot water and let sit covered for ten minutes in a plastic container. Mix 1 tbsp. of plain yogurt into the warm oatmeal and let it cool to room temperature before using it as a face mask.
Step 3 Create a banana-based mask by mashing one ripe banana in a mixing bowl along with 1 tbsp. of honey. Mix the banana and honey together well with the wooden spoon. Add 1 tbsp. of sour cream and thoroughly incorporate.
