Is it normal for little boys to like nail polish and other make-up?

He is 23 months old and likes to play in make up is this normal for little boys?Is it normal for little boys to like nail polish and other make-up?
hes still little, at his age he does not know make up is for girls, it means he looks up to who ever he sees putting make up on. Which is a very good thing, as long as that person is a good person ( not turned on by kids or other wrong things ). he will find out in a little while that its not for him, that its for girls. Dont tell him no, because he might think its all wrong for everyone, cause at his age he dose not know the difference very well between girls and boys, and what girls can do vs. what boys can do. like boys can go standing up and girls can ware skirts.

Yes it's normal. All kids, boy or girl, at that age don't really know the difference between boys and girls and just like to do what mom and dad do. If he watches mom putting on makeup and nail polish it wouldn't be unusual for him to want to do it too.
Of course, esp with his big sister doing it. He probably watches her and imitates. Plus at that age, they love to pretend all kind of things. Allow him to explore it.





My friend's son used to take a pillowcase and get her to clip it onto the back of his head so he'd have 'long hair' like his sister. LOL
Yeah, i wear make up almost everyday





I have a four year old son and he was interested and i would just say, '; its for girls so they can be pretty'; he accepted it and now goes. Oh mommy is getting pretty lol
yes it's normal. all kids immitate the people/children around them and makeup is really just a bunch of pretty colors to play with anyway.
boys are not born with boy interests and girls born with a 'make-up and nail polish' gene. Those are learned things. Any gender tends to be themselves until society gets at them
No, I would discourage such behavior.


4 year old girls don't need make up EITHER. I'd call that ';wasteful spending';! She's a kid, not a ';hooker';!
yes. there is no such thing as normal for children.



Yes, try not to ruin his good self esteem.
