How to dress up for Careers Week

Start with the job your child picks, then check the age range in the title against their size. On a tight budget, build an outfit from their own clothes plus a hat and badge: a Yellow Neon Police Hat with a Police Badge Costume, or a lab coat and stethoscope, looks the part for under $30. Younger kids love a prop like the 11 Piece Police Fire & Military Play Set Toy. For more dress-up, browse our kids costumes, the full costumes range or other occasions.
