Older Kids Play Dress Up, Too


If you’ve been to the story store lately, you might have noticed that all of the dress up clothes are the perfect size for your four-year-old sister. While this is great for her, it’s a bit troublesome for you. Why? Because older kids like to play dress up, too. Just think of the fun you have every Halloween and you’ll understand why dress up games online and in real life as such a big hit.
Thrift Stores
For the older child seeking to play dress up games, thrift stores are a great find. In these stores you can buy entire costumes – even wedding dresses – for less than twenty dollars. Pull a whole dress up wardrobe together and take it home to wash. Then you can play dress up, too. Since these clothes are the real deal, you can probably get away with wearing them to school or to dances, too if you want.

Costume Shops
Another option for older girls and dress up games is to take advantage of costume shops. These shops often have sales after Halloween and you can stock up on all kinds of costumes to use throughout the year. Even if you just buy costumes during the fall, many are so inexpensive, you won’t have any trouble at all buying a few new ones each year to add to your collection.
