Dressing up in a dress, costume, or cape is more than just play. It also helps children develop social skills. By taking on different roles, they learn to communicate, cooperate, and show empathy. It's a playful way to practice their social skills while having fun. Dressing up also contributes to children's self-confidence. When they dress up, they can experiment with new ways of speaking, moving, and behaving. This helps them feel more comfortable in different situations and automatically boosts their self-confidence.

Finally, dressing up helps develop language skills. While playing dress-up, children can learn new words and phrases related to the characters they're playing. This contributes to their vocabulary and language comprehension in a playful way.
