Choosing "what to wear" is a dilemma faced by children (and their parents) every day! Children often have very strong opinions about what they want to wear and like to choose clothes that reflect their feelings and personalities. Learning how to get clothes on and off is also a big part of a young child's life. This week in Play School we look at clothing, jewellery and accessories. Each day, paper dolls, Chloe and Max, wear something different on our What to Wear Calendar. We look at clothing for different occasions, weather conditions and times of day. Throughout the week we also celebrate the joy of "dressing up" in a variety of songs, stories and toy play.
