Before they actually dare 

Why kids need to try being someone else

Did you know that sometimes children don't choose costumes based on what's currently "in"?
They choose them based on what they want to try out.Be heard. Be bolder. Be the one who leads.
Or be the one who hides—but is still part of the game.

It's easier to be brave when you're just pretending

The costume gives children the space to try out new roles - to be louder or stand up front without feeling pressure.

Become a brave superhero

Safe space

A costume creates emotional distance - when it's not really them, every failure is easier for them. Disguise allows to experiment with new situations.

The costume reveals what the children wish to rehearse

Children often choose costumes based on the qualities or emotions they want to experience - courage, calm, playfulness or joy - so we can learn more about their inner world.

The game translates into life

The confidence and experience gained from playing slowly translates into everyday life. Today it is just a disguise, tomorrow it can become part of their natural self.

What may look like a costume from the outside is a space for children to explore who they are and who they could be one day.

And so we let them have it sometimes. Before they actually dare.
