Not only is April Keep America Beautiful Month, but this spring time month also marks when we celebrate Earth Day. With the eco-friendly holiday right around the corner, many beauty pageant queens and contestants are looking for ways they can give back to Mother Earth. Trade in your pageant dress for some appropriate outdoor work clothes, and join in on some of these Earth friendly volunteer activities.

Group Earth Day Ideas:

• Organize a community garden in your neighborhood or a nearby community.
• Gather a group of friends and spend an afternoon picking up trash from a local park.
• Circulate a petition to ban or achieve something eco-friendly that you care about. This can be done around your neighborhood, school, etc.
• Ask your friends to gather all of their lightly used prom and beauty pageant dresses, and start a dress collection drive.

Single-person Earth Day Ideas:

• Speak to a school administration about going into the school to teach children about recycling.
• Plant a garden in your backyard.
• Stop using harmful cleaning products inside your home.
• Plant a tree in your backyard.

While many parents adore their pageant contestant toddlers, other parents and non-parents think it’s wrong to allow a young child to compete in beauty pageants. As with anything, there are many pros and cons involved in toddler beauty pageants.

Pros:

• Through performing and speaking in front of a crowd, beauty pageants can give toddlers confidence.
• What little girl doesn’t love getting dressed up! Pageants give toddlers a chance to wear beautiful toddler pageant dresses, get their hair and makeup done, and have fun.
• Losing a pageant can teach children how to handle second place gracefully.
• Most pageants have cash prizes, which can be saved towards their college fund.
• Through pageants, they may become interested in taking dance or singing lessons, or discover something else they love to do.
• Toddlers can form lifelong friends through pageants.

Cons:

• Sometimes when a child doesn’t win, they take the loss personally, and become sad or upset.
• Many people are turned off by the beauty aspects of toddler pageants. For example, glitz pageants require toddlers to have their hair and nails done, an extensive amount of makeup, and sometimes spray tans. Sometimes getting ready for a glitz pageant can take hours, but there are also natural beauty pageants!
• Beauty pageants can become quite expensive. You have to pay the pageant entry fee, and buy a dress, accessories, pay for any hair or nail appointments, possibly buy a wig or a hairpiece, shoes and anything else your toddler might need.
• In order to succeed and win pageants, toddlers must practice walking across the stage, facial expressions, even the way they talk and what they’re going to say.

If your toddler wanted to compete in a pageant, would you let her, why or why not?
