Veronika has played dress-up with tot-sized clothes in the past, but sometimes it’s even more fun just to raid mommy’s closet!

Today, I pulled out items that were either old or that I simply didn’t mind Veronika playing with, and we set everything out on the ground for easy access.

In no time, she was trying on old bathrobes and sports jerseys (which looked more like adorable dresses on her!).

Add accessories like hats, purses, and shoes, and the mixing and matching can begin!

For added fun, we decided our dress-up trunk (really just an old box) needed some sprucing up.

Big brother joined in to help paint the sides of the box in multiple colors. This got pretty messy pretty quickly, but there’s no time like a chilly May morning to make a mess indoors!

We left the pile of clothes out pretty much all day, and every time she went over to it, Veronika selected something new.

Do your kids have a favorite dress-up item? Please share in the comments!
