Dress Up
You don't have to have a computer, a video game system or a board game to play little girl games. Dress Up is an interactive game girls can play using clothing from older siblings or parents. If you want to add to the dress up collection, consider purchasing jewelry or other accessories. You can find these at thrift stores and clean them up with a solution of 50 percent bleach and 50 percent water before presenting them to your little girl if you want to save money. You can also collect items no longer in use like purses, scarves or other trinkets from around your home. Let the little girls put on the clothes and accessories. Most girls enjoy seeing what they look like, so you'll want a mirror nearby.
