Children have such excellent imaginations, and I am pretty sure that one our positions as moms and pops is to nurture and support this spirit of fun and hopefulness. Children costumes are just part of a very cheerful upbringing for kids.
One of my fondest early memories from early childhood was riding the "elevator" at my grandmother's house. I grew up in a lovely, but miniscule town, which of course had no real elevators at all, so it just looked so very exotic to my 6-year-old mind. Of course it was basically only a closet with a sliding door, but it became, for 1 or 2 gorgeous years, everything my imagination required it to be. Oh, the places that lift went!
So it was no surprise to me when my personal kids spent countless hours making 'forts ' in the lounge. On days with a different theme, blankets draped over chairs, sofas, and coffee tables provided the framework for a zoo for mobs of wild animals and lots of roaring, or an underwater world with mermaids and dolphins, even a place with dolls and preserved animals. The basic structure, be it lift, fort or zoo can take a kid anywhere.
Your kid desires 1 special outfit for dress-up play. For young girls, fairies have great appeal: the fairy is tiny - childish - but with an amazing idea to improve the world, often with simply a wave of a wand, and even to fly! It is simple to understand the worth for a young individual to feel more influential than she often sees herself to be.
Too , knights embody similar imagery of power and ethics, combined with the lore of popular culture and captivating dragon-slaying memories. Colourful and flashy they validate our boys to imagine themselves as the powerful protectors we urge our men to become.
Your youngster may dream of times being a fairy or a knight, but you need not stop there. Add to your collection with that superseded party dress, cut down to a non-dangerous length, hats, shoes, fancy gems or any other bits you can think in your mind. Search out thrift shops, rummage sales, yard sales, and relations closets. If it seems gaudy to you, it's going to be an instant hit! Be extra prepared to take that highly decorated creature with you to the grocery, the park or wherever your day takes you.
Infrequently, the child might opt to stay tiny and quiet in other social circumstances, will emerge assured when wearing a tiara. Give them the opportunity to explore their alter-ego. You could be surprised!
