Kids Socks, Tights & Leggings: uncostly Dress-Up Ideas For Preschoolers

Preschool-age children love to play dress-up. Dressing up and the pretend play that goes along with it can contribute hours of entertainment for your kids, and it does wonders for fostering imagination in their young minds as they play out stories of princesses and castles, super heroes, teaching school, being mommies and daddies, and anyone else they can come up with. Store-bought dress-up clothes can get quite expensive, but here are some ideas for increasing your child's dress-up wardrobe without breaking the bank.

* Hand-me-downs. Old, out-grown clothes are a amazing resource for dress-up clothes. If you have older children, keep some of their beloved pieces of clothing as they outgrow them. Long skirts, fancy shoes, boots, party dresses, and suit coats are lots of fun for younger siblings to wear and play in. Wearing an older sister's dress, a preschooler can pretend to be going to a ball or a tea party, old boots can be part of a cow girl outfit. Your child is sure to come up with some fun ideas. If you don't have older children, let your friends know you'll happily accept any discarded clothing convenient for dress-up before they drop it off at the local Salvation Army.
* Adult clothes. Even if you don't have any resources for outgrown children's clothing, you can look to your own closet for dress-up ideas for your kids. If Grandma or an aunt are cleaning out closets, mention that you're seeing to stock up your child's dress-up wardrobe,and you may wind up with some treasures. Dress shirts, ties, purses, dresses and skirts are good choices. Don't worry if it's too big, that's part of the fun. Plus, belts and ribbon can be used to tighten up waistbands.
* Old baby clothes can be used for doll clothes, so your child's dolls can get in on the dress-up fun too.
* Re-sale shopping. Carport sales and thrift shops are stocked with dress-up treasures. It may take a little digging and lots of imagination, but the possibilities are endless, and often dirt cheap. An old white men's dress shirt makes a exquisite lab coat, a ladies nightgown can be the exquisite dress to wear to the ball.
* Halloween costumes. Don't ditch those Halloween costumes. Keep them colse to and get lots more use out of them in the dress-up trunk. Also, scour the stores for after-Halloween clearance sales; you could find some great dress-up outfits for up to 75% off.
* Old dance recital costumes and uniforms. That dance costume you spent on will find new life in the dress-up trunk, as will old karate outfits, Girl/Boy Scout uniforms, cheer prominent outfits, or sports uniforms. Adult uniform cast-offs will work too.
* Cheap accessories. It's the little touches that as a matter of fact unblemished dress-up outfits, like costume jewelry, hats, decorative socks and tights, and tiaras. Your local dollar store often has many options, as well as the Dollar Spot inside Target stores.
