Ask your kids to help you decorate it. Let them go wild with their imagination. Use markers, glue, glitter, stickers and so on.
Step3
Dig out all those old Halloween costumes and dance and play outfits. Put them in the box.
Step4
Go through your closets and remove all those ugly old clothes you'll never wear again. Add those to the box.
Step5
Sort through mittens, gloves and hats. Place any worn-out or mismatched items in the dress-up box.
Step6
Donate scarves, boots, shoes and extra material to the box as well.
Step7
Bring the box out on a rainy day and let your kids dig through it. Watch them make crazy outfits for themselves.
Step8
Try structuring the play by asking them to attempt to dress up as certain things - an elephant, a princess, a chef. Or have each person dress up as something and have everyone else try to guess who or what they are.
Step9
Keep the box in a closet or attic so you can add things to it easily.

When replacing your makeup and there is still a little left over from your old container, put it in a plastic container with a lid and add it to the box. This also goes for any leftover Halloween makeup not used.
