Have a Dress-Up Fashion Show

2/4/08 - By Anna Fader

It's fashion week in New York City, so we have a Fashion Week-inspired activity for any day you're stuck at home and going stir-crazy, or just want to enjoy how adorably cute your kids are.

OUR LATEST VIDEOS



Drag out all your dress-up clothes, accessories, some of your old shoes, hats, scarves,etc and let your kids go to town. Have your video or digital camera at the ready and snap away. This activity can be just as fun with older kids who love to vamp and clown around. And the photos will surely be album-worthy, memory makers.

Send us your fashion show pics and we'll post our own Mommy Poppins Kiddie Fashion Show.

Find more great activities like this in our Indoor Activities Guide.

 

About the Author

Anna Fader

Founder of Mommy Poppins

A fourth-generation Brooklynite, Anna started Mommy Poppins in 2007 to help families find the best things to do with kids in NYC, with a particular emphasis on sharing activities that are free, affordable, and enriching. The site, used by millions of families, has grown to become the ultimate resource for parents in the major US cities, plus travel guides for 100s of destinations.

Anna is a believer in the magic of summer camps, traveling with kids, and that you can raise kids on a budget and still have a rich life full of amazing memories. Anna's first Mommy Poppins book, The Young Traveler's Journal and Activity Book, published in 2025 and co-written with her daughter, Amelia Eigerman, brings that ethos to life, in addition to this website.
