My kids LOVE dress-up! We have an entire "center" devoted to dress-up stuff. I can often find them helping one another into a dress or finding just the right hat for the day. I'm not just talking about my princesses either. My prince can't go a day without trying on a couple of hats and strut'n around in them.
All kids come by this naturally. Pretending is a wonderful creative outlet! My kids are also learning that dress-up doesn't have to stop. God made us creative and fun so why should there be an age cut off for these kinds of things. I like trying funky outfits every-now-and-then and Matt and I both love using Halloween costumes as a good excuse to have fun. In the past several years, we've has annual Costume Parties with our youth groups. FUN STUFF!!! I love making our own costumes. I also love to make the adult Halloween costumes and kids' Halloween costumes go together: family costumes! Here are some examples from years past:
The Increadibles {2006}
Fireman, Fire Truck, Fire Dog- Dalmation {2008}
(pregnant) Cubby Farmer, Farm Dog, and Prize Winning Pumpkin {2009}
Picnic: Can of Diet Coke, Chicken Leg, Bag of Grapes, and a Lady Bug {2010}
The 3 Little Pigs: 3 little pigs, Big Bad Wolf, and the Brick House {2011}

When's the last time you played dress-up and enjoyed the creative side God gave you?
