costumes in play  

Definition

  • When we hear the word costume, most of us think of young children dressing up as their favorite superhero or cartoon figure while engaging in fantasy play, but the use of costumes in play does not belong solely to the young. In fact, costumes can be a large and vital part of the culture of play from infancy through adulthood. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Costumes in Play]
