Scarf dress up for kids

The kid activity:
Kids need the slightest motivation to come up with new ways to entertain themselves. Start them off with a bunch of old scarves and see what they come up with!

Gather old scarves (winter, silk, whatever you can find) and have the kids use the scarves to come up with different characters and ideas. Some of our favorites:

  • Pirate
  • Ballerina
  • Old man/woman
  • Various animals
  • Superhero
  • Pro wrestler

Variations
Use your scarf collection to start a dress up trunk. Get costumes and old clothes at garage sales and thrift stores. Let your kids' imaginations soar!

YeahBaby.com thoughts:
You don't have to pay a lot of money to come up with an activity that your kids love. This is low cost and high fun!
