Dress up time

Dress up role play has so many advantages with Early Years Education.

Kira loves animals and has consistently wanted to be a vet since she first wore a bumble bee costume. It is the main drive behind excelling in her lessons. 

Her favourite role play is to dress up as an animal and have her baby with her all day. She teaches it all the amazing facts she knows about the animal in question.

Throughout her early years journey she has buzzed like a bee, learning about how they make honey. 

She has been a dinosaur, who crept up behind me and waited silently for me to turn around and discover her. Yes I screamed.

She has been a cow, being taken to market by Sophia. 

She has been a snowy owl flying over the snow.

She has been a spider, and given me a very detailed presentation on facts about them.

She has been a safari guide, who took Sophia and myself on a journey across the plains. She spent an hour talking about the animals found there in great detail.

She has been a hibernating brown bear.

She has been a very authentic polar bear.

She has always loved any crafts where she can incorporate her love of animals.

When she was a pirate for her birthday one year, she wanted a parrot. Xander obliged.
