My source for much of my dress up supplies was the $1 bin at Target. Above Susannah is wearing a purple grass skirt and some fairy wings, both purchased for a $1. I bought a green grass skirt that Max has also played with. I won't post a picture of that because his Daddy probably wouldn't like it.
Pirates are much more manly than fairies.
For a $1, I got Max a pirate set. In addition to the patch, it came with a stick-on mustache and a clip-on earring. I quickly decided that he was too little for the latter two items and so I put them away as they screamed choking hazard.
Going along with the islands theme, I bought three flower leis at the Dollar Store for, shockingly, a $1.
One rainy day we decided to watch Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee while wearing paper crowns. I had a ton of these left over from an event I was involved in before school let out. We have so many that we may be having a Kings and Queens birthday party come January.
What else is in our dress up bin? Eight plastic bracelets I got from the Michaels' dollar bin. We also have two headbands with animal ears on them, one with rabbit ears and one with bear ears. I keep it all in a plastic bin I got from the Dollar Store.
This is an obviously evolving collection, but I think we've made a good start. Every week I look for new additions in the Target dollar bin (like I need another reason to shop at Target).
This blog will go silent again, likely for the next week, as the Bulldog Twins are headed out of town this afternoon and this weekend Mommy gets to go on a trip all by herself.
