A trip to the local thrift shop can turn into a huge haul of creative play items for only a few dollars. Often,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the best toys cost little or no money when it comes to allowing your child to use their imagination. One of the most important objects in your playroom should be a "dress-up" chest.
The second hand store is a great place to find unique and imaginative pieces to add to the make-believe treasure chest. The first place I head for is the bargain bin. That is the place where you find all of the stuff that no one wants to buy and you can usually find items there for pennies. Since your child is only going to be playing with these items and not wearing them on the street, it does not matter how gaudy or ugly (in a fashion sense) the items are. Actually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the gaudier the better as far as kids are concerned.
You can find silly [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shoes and clothing in this area that are perfect for playing pretend. The [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] should be large enough for your little one to put on and take off easily on their own. Old [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]s and dresses are great, if you choose clothing that has fasteners,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], be prepared to do a lot of buttoning and zipping for them if they cannot do this on their own.
Old Halloween costumes are also a great buy at thrift shops as well as old dance costumes. Old prom dresses and wedding veils will make your little girl into a princess or fairy in the blink of an eye during play time.
Once you have fully explored the clothing section, head on over to the jewelry section and load up on all of the gaudy beads and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you can find. Scarves are also a good addition as they can be used in a variety of ways during pretend play.
Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], head on over to the toy section. Puppets, art supplies, and good used toys can often be found as someone donates the toys that their child has outgrown. High quality toys always outlast the children and you can sometimes really luck out on finding some big ticket items for a fraction of the cost.
If you make the outing to the second hand store a monthly event with your children,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they will always have an endless supply of creative play items and you will not need to feel guilty about the money you spend because it will be peanuts.
