Dressing-up Clothes
Dressing-up in multicultural costumes from other countries enables children to explore what it feels like to wear clothes that are different to their everyday clothes. It also takes them on a journey to faraway places while introducing them to the clothing and costumes of other cultures. Multicultural costumes encourage role-play and enable children to recreate everyday life scenes in our multicultural world.
These multicultural dressing-up costumes complement the National Curriculum and can be used for Drama, History, RE, English and PHSE.
