We could all do with a bit of extra help around the home from time to time. Being busy parents and caregivers, we are constantly juggling the demands of kids, jobs and housework and it is just not possible to sit and play with our children (nor would it be healthy too) all of the time. Sometimes we just need to get a job done, so it is handy to have a series of Simple Play Ideas to suggest to your kids, which allow your to get on with your task, safe in the knowledge that your kids are occupied with a fun activity.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are delighted to be supporting our blogging buddy Emma from Adventures of Adam, as she works to compile a huge list of Simple Play Ideas <\/a>for different areas of your house. The series is full of ideas to do or use items from your Kitchen, Bathroom, Garage\/Basement, Bedroom, Living Room, Pantry and Garden. \u00a0We have been given the task of coming up with a simple play idea for your bedroom. So we are sharing the secrets from our bedroom Dressing Up Box.<\/p>\n

Simple Play Idea: Dressing Up Box<\/h2>\n

Do your kids like to play dress up? All three of my kids love dressing up. It’s a great way for them all to play together in their bedrooms, whilst I carry out some much needed chores upstairs in the house.<\/p>\n

I store all of our dressing up outfits and accessories in my eldest son’s room in a section of his wardrobe. They can than all gather around and work together to choose which items they want to wear. Then what games they are going to play together, whilst I am hoovering around them. Their current favourites are dressing up as superheros and fighting bad guys and dressing up as doctors and setting up a “Teddy Bear Hospital”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Benefits of Pretend Play<\/h2>\n

Engaging in pretend play is an essential part of your child’s development. Having a Dressing Up Box to hand is a great way to encourage your kids to step into a different world, to not only play, but also to learn so many important skills.<\/p>\n
