Playing Dress Up

 

We have had so much fun this week celebrating Mo Willem's book Hooray for Amanda and Her Alligator. Be sure to check out our other activities. This was our final activity for the week. We usually do one every day, but preschool started this week and it took up some of our play time.

One of my favorite parts in the story is at the end. Alligator is waiting for Amanda to come home from the zoo so he can play dress up with her and sing songs and make discoveries. When she comes home she has brought a brand new fancy stuffed panda. Alligator is not happy about a new toy, but after Amanda leaves again Alligator finds out that Panda also likes to play dress up, sing silly songs and make discoveries. In the end they become great friends as they play together.

So, we decided to play dress up. I have been collecting dress up clothes all summer and it was finally time to pull them out and play with them. We had so much fun.

Sweet Girl has learned how to use her stethoscope. She holds the end over her heart and says "dubba dubba dubba." I think she'll make a great doctor someday.

She has a major obsession with glasses!

This was the best picture I could get of her wearing the clown nose. She loved to put it on, but didn't like the way it felt once it was on, so it always came off really fast.

We had so much fun with this book this week! I'm excited to more activities like this in the future and help Sweet Girl develop a love of reading.
