Hobbies And Interests
Online Games
Girls can enjoy thousands of online dress-up and design games. Most games on the Internet are flash-based games with a drag and drop interface that makes it easy for the youngest girls to dress models. New designs can be created in some online games by changing colors and patterns. Girls can choose from formal wear, casual clothing, business attire or fun clothes. They can add accessories, such as hats, purses, necklaces and earrings. Save the final designs, or print out and frame or place in a notebook.
Board Games
Groups of girls at a sleepover or having a play date can play dress-up and fashion board games and compete against each other. Fashion board games pit girls against each other as they roll the dice and move a game piece around the board to collect accessories, clothes and shoes. Girls can make their own board games using a piece of poster board and pictures of jewelry, shoes and clothing cut from fashion magazines.
Runway Games
A sleepover or birthday party is the perfect time for girls to play runway games. The bedroom or a hallway becomes a fashion catwalk for little girls to model their fashionable ensembles taken from mom's closet, with her permission. Two or three girls can be judges who score the fashions, the accessories and the best runway walk.
Fashion Designer Games
Use fabric glue, scraps of cloth and dolls to play fashion designer games. Girls can draw their designs on paper and then cut out pieces of fabric scraps to make garments for fashion dolls. Assemble the pieces of cloth using fabric glue. Mothers can help younger girls to cut out the fabric pieces. Groups of girls may have a design contest for the best evening gown, business attire or craziest design.
