18 - 36 months. Invite toddlers to explore different careers through imaginative classroom dramatic play with the When I Grow Up Career Toddler Shirts. This set of 6 detailed dress-up shirts gives children opportunities to pretend to be a race car driver, construction worker, zookeeper, pilot, astronaut, or veterinarian. As children choose an occupation and take on a role, educators can use the costumes to promote an understanding of different careers through engaging pretend play.
Each shirt features printed designs representing its occupation, giving toddlers recognizable details to incorporate into dramatic play. The six career choices create opportunities for children to explore a variety of roles in the classroom dramatic play center, whether they are imagining a day at a construction site, caring for animals as a veterinarian or zookeeper, piloting an aircraft, exploring space as an astronaut, or pretending to race cars.
The shirts also make dressing part of the learning experience. Hook-and-loop closures allow children to practice dressing and undressing as they prepare for and transition between pretend-play roles, encouraging independence. This practical design helps make the costumes easy to use during toddler dress-up experiences.
Designed with classroom care in mind, the shirts are made of 100% polyester. The fabric is soft and machine washable, making it convenient for educators to care for the set between dramatic play experiences.
