Kids Dress-up

How to get dressed: teaching your child with costumes

We know that children love costumes! That's why giving a costume as a gift for your 3 year old would be ideal. Why at age 3? Simply because this is the age when your child can dress themselves. The added bonus of costumes is that it allows your children to learn to dress and undress on their own and to become aware of their appearance in a fun way. Indeed, learning to dress while playing is more fun than putting on a casual outfit...

Kids costumes: dress up encourages creative skills

Children build their identity by trying on different disguises. In this way, your child can feel or act as if they were this or that character. The child feels the need to look like someone else, it is an obligatory and very beneficial passage. If we look at the Vertbaudet collection your child can become a knight, a princess, a dinosaur, a fairy... Dress up is a way to transform themselves and show themselves to others. Dressing up allows children to assert themselves in a reassuring way. Indeed, children feel protected to express themselves thanks to their accessories which give them the power to mask their fragility for a moment. This brief moment when they feel like they are big, autonomous and strong. Until teenage years, your children will try to form and forge their character. To do this, they develop a sense of self, step by step through the personalities of the different characters they want to look like. But no matter what the final choice of costume is, your kids will use it to externalize emotions, desires or fantasies.

Dressing up: a way to face fears

Dressing up can be the ideal therapeutic solution if your child is afraid of the dark, witches, monsters etc. Psychotherapists advise to de-dramatize fears by proposing to parents to dramatize a situation turned to comedy. It is also an opportunity to create a moment of joy and play with your child. By dressing up with your child, you will be able to cure his fears with a smile or even laughter!

On the way to the power of creativity and dreams

Dressing up is not a simple game, when your child puts on their costume and embodies a character, they put themselves into the creation of an imaginary universe in which all great characters live. It is a game that requires a lot of mental juggling! This stage game will allow your children to develop their adaptability skills to the academic and professional worlds but also to become empathetic since they will imagine themselves in the place of another.
