This activity that gets the imagination working is a great way of escaping routine and letting the child inside you escape, they will know straight away what you want to dress up as!
⦁ A great confidence boost. In general terms, when it comes to dressing up, we usually choose between mischievous and seductive or funny and scary, and both choices could be beneficial. Whether it’s because we see ourselves in a more positive light or because the outfit allows us to laugh at ourselves, dressing up improves self-confidence.
⦁ Helps develop personality. It might seem strange, but the act of playing a different person can improve the way we see ourselves. When you dress up, you mimic another character, taking on traits that help you to work on part of your own personality that you want to develop.
⦁ Guaranteed to be fun. Last but by no means least, the main reason for dressing up is: laughing and having fun. These moments improve your mood and state of mind, generate endorphins, reduce pain and help you to forget about problems that aren’t important.
