Get ready for a fun-filled Dress Up Adventure! It’s time to dig through your closet and get creative with costumes using old clothes, fabric scraps, and household items. This activity is a great way to spark your imagination and have a blast with your family. Let’s get started!

Why a Dress Up Adventure?

Creating costumes allows you to express your creativity and think outside the box. It’s a fantastic way to work together, collaborate on ideas, and have a whole lot of fun!

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Start by gathering materials for your costumes:

• Old clothes (hats, shirts, skirts, etc.)
• Fabric scraps or old sheets
• Household items (belts, bags, scarves, or anything else you can find)
• Scissors (ask an adult for help if you need to cut anything)

Step 2: Get Creative!

1. Choose a Character: Decide if you want to dress up as a Favourite character, an animal, or something totally unique!
2. Mix and Match: Start combining items from your collection. Layer clothes, add accessories, and let your creativity flow!
3. Make it Unique: Use fabric scraps to create capes, hats, or other fun accessories. Be as imaginative as you like!

Step 3: Show Off Your Costumes

Once everyone has their costumes ready, it’s time to showcase your creations! You can:

• Have a mini fashion show where each person walks the “runway.”
• Take silly photos together to remember the fun!
• Create a short play or skit using your characters.

Safety Tips:

• Be careful with scissors and other tools. Always ask for help if you’re unsure.
• Make sure your costumes aren’t too tight or uncomfortable for running around.

Fun Facts:
