For toddlers, imitation-play is a huge part of their development.
Dress-ups will help them to begin imagining themselves as their favourite character. Can be as simple as wearing a dog costume and crawling on all fours.
Various dress-up items, like sunglasses, hats and bags will encourage your preschooler to develop their own creative storyline.
This will help them to think critically about what their dress-up items mean to their narrative. For example, wearing a beanie might help them develop a storyline about a trip to the snow.
Dress-ups and role playing are great ways to encourage early learners to develop and expand their language skills, vocabulary and emotions.
By wearing various costumes, they will start exploring different words and ways of talking that fit their character, challenging them to step outside their comfort zone.
Bayside Toy Library’s massive range of dress-ups and costumes will keep your kiddos busy with more storylines and adventures they thought possible!
Now that’s a win for you.
