10 Ways To Help Your Kids Learn At Home In Costume
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has altered all our lives. However, the worst sufferers of it are our kids. Since their immunity system is still developing and thus fragile, they’re more prone to getting infected and must stay indoors at all costs. For children who love to go out and play more than anything, the four walls of your home can seem very restrictive. How can you make your kids have fun at home while learning new things as well? Fancy Dress Costumes can be the best answer!
Ways to teach your kids learn with costumes
Here are ten ways in which you can teach your kids at home with different fancy dress costumes:
Acquaint them with the wildlife
All kids are fascinated with animals, especially the ones they don’t usually see around them, such as tiger, elephant, etc. You can dress your kids up in costumes of animals, and tell them about each one and how they’re wild or domestic.
Help them differentiate between birds and insects
To the little minds of the kids, such distinctions can get mixed up. However, to avoid that from happening, you can dress them up in birds and insects’ costume. If they’re wearing what they’re learning about, they’re more likely to remember.
Connect with them through fairytales
Growing up, which fairy tale did you love above all others? Was it the beautiful Snow White, or the long-haired Rapunzel? Kids just love to hear your childhood stories. What could be better than telling them your favorite story while dressing them up as its lead? It will be a unique experience for you both.
Explain their surroundings
Dress-up is an innovative way to teach kids how things work in their surroundings. For instance, you can dress them up as a clock while teaching them about time, or as a computer to introduce them to the basics.
Develop their interest in music
Music soothes us all. Is your kid into music? Either way, you can dress them up as musical instruments, and tell them about how they work and their sounds too.
Teach them what’s right to eat
All kids love junk food, don’t they? If you want to teach them what’s better for their body, dress them up as fruits and vegetables, and tell them how they help them grow stronger and healthier. You can also dress them up as a Pizza and explain how it harms them.
Let them explore the beautiful nature
A great writer once said, “The Earth laughs in flowers!”. Flowers are indeed the most beautiful part of nature. Get your kids to fall in love with them as you dress them up like a rose or a sunflower.
Explore their ambitions
Although too young to take ambitions seriously, kids still dream of becoming something they love when they grow up. Does your kid want to be a doctor, a scientist, or an astronaut? Get them a professional costume to turn their dreams into reality.
Narrate to them the mythological stories
We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Take it up a notch for your kids. Dress them up as Rama or Sita while you recite to them their adventurous tales.
Educate them with the history of our nation
India has struggled for centuries as slaves to the English before gaining its Independence. Your kids must know the stories of the heroes of our nations who delivered us to freedom. Get them costumes of Gandhi Ji and Nehru Ji while you tell them of their tributes to our country.
