Alice In Wonderland Costume: Book Character Costumes For Girls!

It’s a whimsical adventure, taking a trip down the Rabbit Hole! Alice doesn’t know what she’ll find, where she is, who she’ll meet, or just what’s going to happen!

Welcome to this page about Alice In Wonderland Costumes for kids!

Alice In Wonderland, based on Lewis Carroll’s 1865 classic fantasy story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a beloved story, adapted into animated film by Disney in 1951, and then readapted/sequelled in 2010 by Tim Burton – the well known Johnny Depp version.

It’s a story filled with zany characters and a wacky but fun storyline, and it’s PERFECT for kids who love crazy adventures, nonsensical and puzzling confrontations.

Dress Up Games & Activities for Girls - www.kidslovedressup.com

This post is all about fun dress up games for girls, but not ipad or computer or play station type of dress up games. Not apps either.

What I’m talking about here is the non-screen kind of dress up play, where they are down on the ground, or sitting at a table, or running around, or interacting as they prance about. Dress up themed games and activities – aimed towards girls, but honestly, boys would probably have just as much fun as girls with most of them.

Let’s get our girls playing. Playing hard, playing for long periods of time, playing solo, playing together… it’s SO important to get them actively engaged in play!

We’ll start with traditional costume types of dress up games for girls, and then go on to some dress up related games and activities.

A Boys Dress Up Trunk: Say Goodbye To That Mess On The Playroom Floor!

December 7, 2022September 26, 2016 by Marlaine

Is your playroom getting over-run with boys dress up clothes, accessories, hats, and the like? Perhaps it’s time to invest in a boys dress up trunk. Trunks are great for quick clean-ups, aren’t they? Just dump, toss, and stuff everything in, close the lid, and voila! Done. So easy that your little guy has no excuse to NOT be able to help dump everything in it, right? 😉

What kinds of dress up trunks are there out there that are “just” for boys though? This page is dedicated to showing you 3 different yet popular boys dress up trunk styles. I’ll talk a bit about each, and show you some different highly-reviewed ones in each category.

Big and Solid

The most important feature for a good dress up trunk, I think, is that it is BIG. Why? Because big chests simply can hold a LOT of stuff. Dress up gear tends to accumulate as your kids age. They add dress up hats for kids, swords, belts, capes, superhero costumes, boots, animal costumes, role-play gear… and very quickly a small box is filled to overflowing, and your play room is never quite completely clean.
