This summer I began reading chapter books with my 5 year old. Our usual choices include books around a third grade reading level which include one or more picture per chapter. These criteria make the book easier for Lilly to understand while listening to the words. During a recent visit to the library I stumbled upon a different book 1oo Dresses: If The Magic Fits<\/em>. Although it does not meet the criteria for our read aloud choices, I thought the premise of magic dresses might intrigue my fashion loving daughter, so we gave it a try. We are only part of the way through the story but couldn’t resist the inspiration to connect this book to our current fashion studio project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the dresses in the book is described as “sunshine yellow” with “a garden of ribbon flowers.” Based on this description Lilly colored a dress in her design book. She chose to add some of her own details including a blue belt and green top. Next, we set about creating a girl sized version of the dress. This time we used plastic bags: 1 bag with the bottom cut off for the top, 3 bags taped together became a skirt. To get a green color we taped blue tissue paper inside to yellow plastic bag serving as the dress’s top. Blue tissue paper created a belt, cupcake liners were glued on to create flowers, and construction paper created extra details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we headed outside for some modeling time:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What kind of fashion will we be inspired to create next?<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
