E1What to Wear - MondayWhat to wear is often a dilemma parents and children face each day in the life of a child. Children often have very strong opinions about their clothing and how they want to dress. Learning how to get clothes on and off is also a big part of a child's life. This week we explore clothing, jewellery, accessories and all those things we use for dressing. Each day Chloe and Max, the paper dolls dress differently on our "What to Wear" calendar. We discover that there is clothing for different occasions, different weathers, boys and girls, children and adults, day and night, work and play. Throughout the week we celebrate a child's joy in "dressing up"with a variety of songs, stories and toy play.
