She'd sell off everything and start over by visiting the Goodwill in Los Angeles. In one of those visits she picked up the end of some bolts of chiffon from the garment district and gave them to us. The whole neighborhood played with those colorful fabrics for days on end. From caterpillars spinning cocoons to pretending we were wearing sari's we used our imaginations and cooperative social skills (try wrapping four feet of chiffon around a five year old friend!) without adult intervention. Thanks for bringing up that memory!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-46013904955434266762014-10-02T20:22:57.097-07:002014-10-02T20:22:57.097-07:00Definitely interesting!

Nothing "specific" like Spiderman or Snow White, but the girls sure fuss and fume over the dresses! Last year my assistant brought in some long white gloves, and then those became the hot item. Scarcity is a tough thing in a classroom. I don't mind prowling around the thrift store for a few more items, but honestly I don't have the storage space for much more! I love these Fafu costumes which are multi-purpose! I will have to check out the website!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-66791693478620185812014-10-02T14:47:13.687-07:002014-10-02T14:47:13.687-07:00Thanks for this lovely post and the costumes look ...Thanks for this lovely post and the costumes look great. My children have a fairly extensive dress up collection (including many princess dresses/superhero outfits) but I have noticed lately that one of my 5 year old's favorite things to dress up with is a basket full of large fabric scraps and some pegs.

Looking forward to sharing this at our next meeting to get more people on board. Thanks!Julie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680367927726322665noreply@blogger.com
