Kids love dressing up and can often spend an entire day trying on new outfits and putting on fashion shows. Parents should understand that playing dress up can also be a learning opportunity for a child. That means that each time a child tries on a new outfit their parent might give them a quick history lesson.Dressing up can make learning fun for kids. It’s so easy for children to become restless and bored when trying to learn from a book. Next time your child dresses up in, say, one of those battle helmets from the Middle Ages, talk to them about who was king during that time and how helmets protected soldiers during battle.
