Dress your own superhero:
- With your child, go to Princess Presto's Create Your Own Superhero game on the SUPER WHY site. Have your child create his own superhero. Have your child follow the steps to make a superhero and then have an adult cut out the final hero. Then, have your child use the outfits to dress his super hero by putting the Super Reader outfits on his super hero. Have your child make his own outfits to dress his hero too!
Talk about it:
- What is your child�s favorite thing to wear? Does he have a favorite shirt or dress? Talk to your child about his favorite clothes and what makes them so special.
