If there is one thing that parents hate to hear from their children, I personally think that it would have to be “I’m Bored”. With the hotter months upon us and school being out for many students, (with the exception of those in summer school). Children will have lots of fun partaking in outdoor fun. Unfortunately, there will be days when the weather will not permit this. The temperature may be too hot for some or there may be a few rainy days. When these dreaded days come, parents will be faced with coming up with some creative indoor fun. After so many days, it is very easy for a parent to become stuck and unable to think of things to do, especially cost-efficient things. One thing that my children do is play dress up and pretend that they are the character. What many parents don’t realize is, for children it doesn’t have to be a special day or holiday to play dress up.
Many think that costumes are just for Halloween; however, that is not the case. Children can wear their costumes to live shows or musicals such as Disney on Ice, or even to the circus as you can see on MrCostumes.com .What I allow my children to do is dress up in their favorite costume that we purchased online. In case you have never heard of them. They are paving the way when it comes to a large selection of costumes at an affordable price for the entire family. Children are not the only ones who can play dress up. have become a very popular way of spicing up many marriages. What many couples don’t know is there are couples costumes. These can be worn to a party together or around the house. Why not have a family dress-up day where the entire family puts on their costume and has a fun family night? These memories and traditions will last forever.

I gave my niece a bunch of my old clothes to play dress up in. I guess you can consider that upcycling lol It was fun to watch how she wore them 🙂
