Aistear – The Clothes shop

For the month of February, our theme was Clothes . The children had lots of fun bringing in their favourite clothes from home and selling and buying them in the clothes shop. The shopkeepers were busy picking out clothes for the customers, showing them to the dressing room, using the till,, and helping the customers

In the construction area and small world, the children were busy building various clothes shops, – sports shops, children’s clothes shops, department stores, boutiques and stocking them.

Using play dough the children designed out fits for men and women and there was a great variety of fashion on display,

In Junk Art, the children discovered a variety of fabrics, i.e wool, hessian, felt , curtain material, and created outfits using these materials. They also created Fabric Letters using their initials.

Other activities this month included learning the names of clothes in Irish, discovering what materials are waterproof and which are not. We looked at clothes in other countries- kilts, stetson hats, flamingo dresses, sari,bowler hats and we also looked at how clothes have changed or stayed the same over time
