Dressing up delights – do these clothes all fit me?
What you need
- A selection of clothes, including some adult and some baby (or dolls) clothes
What to do
- Give your toddler plenty of time to look at the clothes and maybe try some on.
- Stay close by to offer reassurance and help if needed.
- While they explore, comment occasionally on what they are doing.
- If you see them trying to put something on that isn’t the right size, say, "I’m not sure that hat fits you, it looks too small for your head.”
- Have fun and be silly trying different clothes together. You might try to put on a toy’s shoe saying, “Oh I love these shoes, I’ve always wanted to try them on. Oh dear, I’m not sure they will fit me!”
