Play Clothes for Dress Up fun

Play clothes allow children the freedom to become their favorite cartoon characters, favorite movie stars or their favorite person in the world..You!


Try to keep a trunk full of various clothing items on hand so the children can play dress up on rainy days, snow days or just plain bored days!


Gathering the items for a clothing trunk can be fun and an adventure.


Items for a dress up trunk

My absolute favorite way to get items inexpensively is by visiting thrift stores.
The stores in my area have quality items, some with store tags still on them. Of course you are going to find things that are not quality, but I have seen evening gowns, prom dresses, costumes and many business suits that cost under five dollars.

If time doesn't allow you to get to the thrift stores, have no fear. I have searched the internet and found a great source of high quality play clothes at inexpensive prices.
Here are a couple of ready to use Play Clothes kits that can be delivered right to your door:
