Boys Costumes: “When I Grow Up” Career Costumes That He’ll Be Proud To Wear!

When I Grow Up Boys Costumes - www.kidslovedressup.com“What do you want to be when you grow up?” We start asking our boys this question at such an early age, as we’re fascinated to hear the answers, aren’t we? We write it down for posterity, we chat about the many possibilities for them, and we definitely encourage them to role play in boys costumes like the ones we’re looking at today!

Why encourage career role play?

Role playing has so many benefits. It encourages both independent and cooperative play. Children learn to express themselves creatively, devising stories of their own (narrative thinking). It also gives them room to “try on” something new for fun, and gets them dreaming of what COULD BE! It’s also great for their self esteem, as they can be a real success in a chosen field of play!  (See Boys Dress Up – Role Playing for more on boys dress up in general.)
