Creativity and Dress Up Games Playing dress up games is hugely entertaining, but it does a great job developing a child’s creativity as well. When you play dress up games, you are required to selecting clothing and accessories for a doll base.

You can certainly slap a few clothing items onto a doll base and cry done, but that is not the spirit of the adventure. To make a true design, you start with a plan in mind. As you carefully select the right doll base, you begin to tell a story in your mind about the doll you are creating. She gets a name and a personality. As you pick out her eye color and hair she becomes a certain ethnicity and the story begins. The clothing the doll wears will be part of the story in your mind. Is she going to school? Going to the prom? Getting married? Running away to see an illicit boyfriend? All of those require a different story and they certainly require different clothing. As you dig through the designs available, the story will change and you will find different things that need to be included. Often the story that is created in your mind as you design the doll can be written down. Many girls write these stories and create the doll that accompanies the story to have a collection. What they do with the completed stories is a huge means of learning effective communication.
