Guess Who I Am? Community Helper Clothes for Imaginative Play

Help me give my students a set of community helper dress up clothes and props for our dramatic play area.

My Project

Working in a Pre-K classroom is never boring. You never know what the kids are going to say and do. By rotating toys in and out of the play areas, we try to give them a variety in their play experiences throughout the year.

I am hoping to get a set of community helper dress-up clothes and props, so the kids can "pretend" to be astronauts, doctors, veterinarians, and more.

These clothes will make the kid's dress-up experiences so much more realistic.

Because a major part of a Pre-K classroom involves developing social emotional skills, these dress-up clothes will be beneficial in encouraging communication among students as they play.
