Playing Dress Up
My kids love to dress up. We have a very attractive straight haired bright pink wig and another super cute curly blue hair wig that have been worn by my children and every child that has entered the house. They were each $1 at the dollar store.
For the last 2 years I have been proactive with the Halloween costumes and ordered them plenty in advance, and then Boog wears his everyday for the 3 weeks leading up to Halloween. His Spiderman costume from this year, still gets some play about every 10 days.
Puddin Pop makes up her own costumes. She finds miscellaneous pieces around the house and becomes a super hero
…or puts on a skirt and becomes a ballerina, twirling around the house. For Christmas Mi-ma and Papa surprised her with a Tinkerbell costume that she just had to put on right away. It was precious and will be missed when she outgrows it. She wore that thing all day and has worn it several days since. How can i say no to this…
Playing dress up is a great way for kids to use their imagination and become someone else. If you’ve ever watched your child playing the parent to a beloved doll or stuffed animal, you’ll see a little of yourself in there. It’s a good way to see what lessons and actions your children are being taught by watching and listening to you.
