There’s a Superhero in every little boy that is just waiting to be let out… someone strong, brave, super-fast, willing to go up against all odds and conquer the Bad Guy. Boys dress up clothes that are all about superheroes are popular indeed, because every little boy wants to be one!
Welcome to this page dedicated to boys dress up clothes of the Superhero variety. (Girls often like Superhero play too… keep reading if you have one in your household who does!)
You’ve reached the point where you know that her dress up clothes, accessories, and shoes are getting out of control, and you’ve decided that you need to purchase a dress up storage center to organize the chaos. You don’t have a lot of space, so you’ve determined that you need a vertical organizer, (as opposed to something wider, like the Guidecraft Dress Up Storage Center.) But which one is best?
Two very popular vertical dress up organizers are the Guidecraft Dress Up Carousel, and the Kidkraft Princess Swivel Vanity. Let’s dig into the both here, take a look at the pros and cons of each, and see if we can figure out which, if either of them, is a good fit for the room of your little dress up queen. Or princess, perhaps I should say. 😉
Dressing up is one of the many pleasures of childhood. And for good reason! It is all about imagination! And so are BOOKS. Stories can take you anywhere, and their characters can guide the readers to be anything, go places they’ve never dreamed of, and have good ol’ fun of all sorts.
This page of Kidslovedressup.com is dedicated to sharing several kids books that will be a hit with YOUR kids if they love to dress up! The main character in each one is big into imagination, costumes, and pretend play. If your kids need a quiet time activity, check out these books for kids who love dressing up.
While tried and true, well-known character costumes are always a big hit for the dress up box, it’s often a good idea to introduce some interesting and different, some rather “unique” dress up costumes girls will like playing with to her collection.
What I’m talking about are outfits that are not the typical princess gowns, are not the usual animals, like bunny or butterfly, that are not role play outfits such as “doctor” or “fire-fighter”.
These are all great, don’t get me wrong. But there are definitely advantages to having some unique pieces in your girl’s collection.
Have you ever had the pleasure of watching a toddler play with someone’s shoes? It is the cutest thing ever. It REALLY puts the “toddle” in toddler, doesn’t it? There’s nothing quite like seeing them shuffle back and forth in Mom’s heels or in Dad’s work boots. That feeling of “I’m so big” and “I’m just like Mom/Dad” is just beaming off of your little one’s face!
Toddler dress up shoes are a fantastic addition to your family dress up box. While wearing grown-up shoes is fun, it can get a bit cumbersome for your little one. Not to mention that your heels aren’t exactly SAFE for playing in for her (or for him, who’s kidding… my little guy loves to totter around sometimes in my shoes too LOL. Don’t tell his Dad ;)).
Introducing some fun toddler-sized dress up shoes can be a big hit, but also rather practical.
There are SO many different kinds of toddler dress up shoes out there… and not JUST girly princess style shoes. I’ve done some looking around for you online and have come up with some fantastic, highly reviewed, super-cute footwear. Take a peek and tell me what you think!
Dress up clothes can pile up. Literally and figuratively. Having a good collection of dress up clothes and accessories can make for SUCH a fun play time, but it can also make for SUCH a messy room. If this is the case, and the pile, the MESS, is starting to get to you, it may be time for you to bring in a little girls dress up clothes trunk.
So, what type to get? Cute and Girly? Practical, Heavy-duty and Multipurpose? Or somewhere in the middle? Let’s dig in a bit and look at some of the pros and cons of both styles. I’ll also show you a few ideas and some good finds.
Little boys usually love dressing up just as much as little girls do! There are just as many options out there too… they just don’t look as “pink or frilly”.
Here are a few of the different costume themes you as a parent or friend can explore in order to encourage your little man to have some fun stretching his imagination with dress up.
There are a few popular dress up categories for little boys, but “when I grow up” is one of the ones as a mother I love. That I want to encourage. I want my little guy to learn at an early age that it’s a GOOD thing to dream big. To explore options. To know that while it’d be wonderful if he follows in his father’s footsteps or does what his grandpa does when he grows up, that there are so many other fun things that he can do that might make him happy! (See my “When I Grow Up” dress up page!)
One of the best things about playing dress up for a kid, I think, is having OPTIONS. Especially in the area of dress up accessories.
There’s nothing quite like the imagination of a child… it’s an incredible thing to watch as a parent. Without any encouragement a child can turn a good wizard into an evil one by trading one wand for another. A train engineer becomes a ship’s captain with a quick hat switch. An apron over a pretty blue dress lets a little girl play the whole Cinderella story. A Dino-Bunny is invented with a few creative pairings. All because of great dress up accessory options!
There are so many different dress up clothes little girls will love when they first are received. Some costumes, however, get worn over and over again. Day after day they are the first item pulled from the dress up box. They are worn even during non-play times!
What is that magical secret that makes that costume so wonderful? That makes a purchase worth the money?
After all, if your daughter is just going to leave a certain dress at the bottom of the box, or tucked at the back of the wardrobe, then why pay good money for it in the first place? How can you be sure of buying dress up clothes little girls will play with, basically until they grow out of them?
Little girls just love to dress up. And the m
ost popular dress up clothes for little girls these days are, without a doubt, those of the beautiful and brave Disney Princesses.
Love them or hate them, these pretty Princesses have or will have your little girl wrapped around their fingers at some point or another. (The Disney marketing team is simply very, very good at what they do.) And when your little girl loves one of them, dress up clothes that are inspired by that favorite Princess are THE favorite outfit in the dress up box. They are cherished and worn A LOT.
So, who is your little girl’s Princess of choice? Elsa or Anna? Belle? Tiana, Jasmine, Merida, Cinderella, Snow White? There are so many ladies, but they all do have their unique appeal, and a unique look that your little girl will know well.
