We play it several times every week. And not only does it help the kids to like getting dressed (there is always something so much more appealing to them about pjs), but it also insures that they are wearing clothes that match and are right for the season (provided you can pick out matching clothes yourself . . . sometimes I wonder that about myself . . .) ANYWAY,
We call it “Surprise Clothes”. I sneak into their rooms, pick out their clothes, and hide them under a pillow. Then they have to close their eyes and keep them closed (this is the HARD part) while I dress them. The whole time I’m dressing them, they get to guess what I’m putting on them judging by the feel of the fabric. My kids love it! And Ethan guesses right about half the time, though it may be because he’s peeking! But they always giggle when they finally open their eyes to see what they are wearing.
It’s a simple game, but “Surprise Clothes” is a favorite at our house.
Of course, if you play it TOO much, you miss out on the fun time when they do in fact pick out their own outfits!
