Favorite Items in our Pretend Clothes Chest Kids Activities Blog

What are some of the must-haves for a pretend clothes stash?   Here are a few of my preschoolers favorite imagination stimulating items.   What are your kids favorite pretend play items?   I'd honey to add to our collection!

Capes

These are then piece of cake to create and brand terrific gifts!   Basically, take a rectangle of fabric, terminate off its edges, so gather the pinnacle and sew a band effectually the elevation.   Viola!   You lot have a cape!   I've even made them with no-sew stripping.   The kids have used these capes as well, capes, but also as aprons, a puppet stage to hide behind and covers to the entrance of their "caves".

Hats/wigs/crowns

Having something silly on their caput is merely addictive for them!   We have gone through phases with cowboy hats, whimsically decorated hats, ball caps, fussy wigs, princess crowns, even putting all the ribbons and bows we own in their hair at one time (we got several comments grocery shopping that 24-hour interval).   My youngest is the one most enthralled with hats right now, she'due south even put pants on her head as a makeshift lid.   I call up she loves how the pant legs bobble on her back.   One of the favorites is an easy to make "braid hat".   This was fabricated before I began blogging, but you can easily replicate it with yarn.   Make braids or stringy hair and glue it to a chapeau.   Lots of fun!

.

Vests

We have several unlike types of vests in our collection, a few handed down from ring-bearers of weddings past, a few itchy ones, just by far the kids favorite vests are a pair of old swimming lifejackets.   They have been consistently favorite items for nearly two years of pretend play!   They have worn them in the bathtub (filled and empty) pretending they are "at the lake".   They accept used them in reenacting "westerns" and horse-back riding.   Currently, the life-jackets are coveted equally props for playing "Diego and Alyssa" brute rescuers.

Flouncy dresses

If you have girls these are a staple!   My girls will wear their flouncy dresses/skirts 24/seven if I let them!

.

Shoes

We have a big box of old shoes (waiting to be handed down to the next Quirky Kid) information technology also includes a few bigger sizes that are manus-me-downs from their cousins and some old loftier heels, Daddy's old boots, etc.   The kids absolutely beloved playing with this big box.   They wearable the shoes, just have as well used them to create a "shoe road" and used them as a stand up and homes for their animals/dolls.   We've even used them to create letters and of course to practice matching!   Interesting shoes are then much fun!

.

Sheet or boxes

A sail is great for pretend play.   It can go a tent, a turban, a dress, a swimming pool, the canis familiaris kennel, my youngest especially enjoys using it to play hide-n-seek and hiding wherever, simply nether the sheet.
