I taught kindergarten for awhile before I became a mom. I saw first-hand what important role dress up played in the development of kids day in and day out. Halloween is a great time to take advantage of costume deals and sales to build a dress up kit for your own children at home. One Step Ahead is a great spot to check for Halloween costumes… and costumes that can be used all year long.
A lot of people automatically think of princess boxes or skirts, aprons, and old high heels for a dress up box all geared towards little girls. The truth is, little boys can have just as much fun with a dress up box even if some of the items inside are a little different. One Step Ahead is a great place to look for girl friendly, boy friendly and most importantly KID friendly dress up gear for your little ones. The costumes from One Step Ahead are extremely high quality and incredibly authentic encouraging your children’s abstract thinking, communication skills, and imagination.
What kind of high quality costumes does One Step Ahead have? Their firefighter costume comes complete with suspenders, a real zip and hook coat, and a great solid hat. It was cool enough that even my husband was impressed!
They also have dress up kits like the pirate role play kit, dragon costumes, police officer costumes, doctor and nurse uniforms, and more! I’ve always had great experiences with One Step Ahead and know that you will too.
One of the best things about shopping with One Step Ahead is their satisfaction guarantee. They have a 100% lifetime guarantee on all of their products and a price match guarantee. If there is ever a problem (or sizing issue), the customer service team will happily help fix the problem. I actually had a sizing issue with the dragon costume pictured above and wanted to check it out for everyone else.
