My kitten has dry skin on her paws. It appears to be peeling a little. Is this normal?

Yes that is normal! =) Since she is a kitten, her soft, squigy baby skin is peeling off and her new tough skin is growing so she wont her herself when she is jumping ect, ect! It is absolutely natural and there is nothing to worry about! x It happens to all kittens, some people just dont notice. You dont need to do anything at all. Although you could put a little amount of baby lotion or vaseline on a tissue and rub it in. Dont put on too much as it may stop the shedding of the baby skin! x
Hope i helped x
Love to your kitty =D

Is she an outdoor cat? If so then keep her inside, her paws are chapping from the cold winter air.
Or she could just be walking a lot. And do what Angie C said
:)
Hope this helped :)

I've never had experience with that but you could rub some vasoline into her paws to help with the dryness. Make sure to rub it in thoroughly as it is essentially a grease and will leave stains on carpet, etc. but it won't hurt her at all.

she either got into something or has really dry skin, check her coat and the skin under her coat to see if it is dry and flakey... if so put a a half teaspoon of olive oil on her food every few days until it clears up..

Maybe rub some lotion on them, get it from pet store.
