School Holiday Activity with a Twist - Fashion Parade

4. Fashion Parade (aka clothes swap!)











Tips: Organise with mums with kids of different age groups so all mums can benefit from the activity. Set rules and expectations, e.g. clothes must be in good order and clean; mums to help sort clothes on arrival and help set up etc. Be creative; make a runway for the fashion parade using tapes and make sure you clap and cheer for the models. Take turns to host this event.

Pre fashion parade: once clothes have been sorted, mums and kids to pick clothes together.
Showtime: kids to wear their new clothes/shoes and parade on the runway.

This activity can help nurture a child’s:

* Sense of self

Tips: Giving kids the power to choose what they like (in a controlled environment) can help kids develop a healthy sense of self.  Their confidence can be enhanced when they parade in front of others and being cheered for.
