The Art of Dress-ups
Exploring the art of Dress ups!
(From Jan 2nd til’ Feb 3rd)
While activities like MoPA’s new “cut and paste dress-ups” may seem like harmless fun, these joyful shenanigans can actually be VERY. Serious. Business…
Children (and sometimes adults!) dress up because it’s just fun, of course. But children also use these make-believe opportunities to experiment with personas and scenarios that reach far beyond regular everyday life. The dress-up games they play enhance their creative skills, and it’s also now proven that children build fundamental social skills through play; and these skills pay dividends well into adult life.
Note: All of MoPA’s activities, and the materials required to participate in them, are all included with all regular tickets.
