As well as making choices and developing fabulously imaginative role-play; engaging in dressing up activities throughout the day also allows opportunities for our children to develop their independence. They use their hand/eye coordination and fine motor control to manipulate clothing onto and off of hangers and onto and off of hooks. Not to mention the skill of actually dressing and undressing themselves effectively too. This will help no end when they enter Reception class life within school and have to get changed for PE!!
Plus this is also an excellent opportunity to ‘get a little help from a friend’ as our children engage in conversations asking their friends nearby to help them fasten outfits and attach Velcro on their backs etc. Teamwork does indeed make the dream work after all!!
