Fun Hands on Activities
Creative and Imaginative Pretend Play Activity

Did you know that felt can easily stick to our clothes, especially cotton or wool? If you have a variety of colors of felt at home, this activity is perfect for you and your kids for a quick and fun project!
Activity Prep
(What we used)
Felt (any color; scraps work too!)
Kids' favorite music for the runway
(Optional) Fashion show videos on YouTube for inspiration
(Optional) Feathers, yarn, ribbons, etc. for added texture
How We Played
We discovered that felt can easily stick to our clothes. We layered colorful felt on top of our sweaters and had a fashion show at home! Choose your favorite colors and design your own clothing! My son loved picking colors and layering them as he liked. He also helped choose colors for his dad's felt decorations.
The most interesting part of this activity was introducing the concepts of fashion shows, runways, and models to my preschooler. My son didn't quite understand it at first, so we decided to watch some fashion show footage on YouTube for reference. It was really fun to watch the high fashion shows together with a little kid! Check out my son's excited RUNNING after he learned about the RUNway!
If you have a variety of felt colors at home, this activity is perfect for you and your kids to enjoy together. It is quick and easy to prepare, and it's also simple to clean up.
