Step 1
Find clothes in your closet or thrift stores. Buy clothes a larger size to fit over the children's clothes. Use jewelry, hats, wigs, boa's, and hats. Think of what every boy or girl would like to be. Look for professional logo's on shirts or jackets, ties, suspenders, vest, etc.

Step 2
Write the childrens name on a paper bag and stuff with an outfit. Leave the bags in plain view, but, don't tell the children whats inside. That will be part of the fun.

Step 3
After some games hand out the bags. The giggles will start as soon as you say dress up. The kids really enjoy a fun playtime in their outfits. They can put them on over their clothes. And they love to exchange with each other and try on different items.

Step 4
Do a mini parade. Take each childs photo. Take a group photo, these photos are great to give at Birthdays or Valentines. This is a great for party for all the children.
