Friendship Dress-Up Kits

'Playdate in a Box' Offers Themed Costumes for Two Kids

— March 7, 2018 — Life-Stages
As dress-up is one of the most simple, transformative and creativity-boosting play activities, 'Playdate in a Box' provides boxed sets of costumes for two kids. The product from mompreneur Letitia Fox aims to inspire social interaction in kids ages three an up. As Fox describes: "Kids are becoming isolated because they are more dependent upon electronics and less dependent on human interaction. I want to break the isolation and encourage children to use their own creative imagination."

Playdate in a Box is offered in five themed sets: The Superpower Girls, The Superpower Boys, Pirate Adventure, Rockstar Diva and Rockstar Dude. In the coming year, two new boxes are set to be added to the range, including Dinosaur Diggers and Ballerina Besties. Each kit contains costumes and accessories for two, as well as stickers and a special scroll that takes kids on an imaginative adventure.
Trend Themes
1. Costume Subscription Boxes - A subscription-based model for themed costumes could offer convenience to parents and ensure regular social interaction for kids.
2. DIY Dress-up Kits - Kits that allow kids to create their own costumes could encourage creativity and imagination while still providing a shared play experience.
3. Interactive Costumes - Advanced technology in costumes could allow for interactive play experiences that encourage social interaction and imagination.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Industry - The toy industry could explore new ways to offer engaging and interactive play experiences that promote social skills.
2. Subscription Box Industry - Subscription box companies could expand into offering themed costume boxes and promote their convenience and curation to parents.
3. Augmented Reality Industry - The augmented reality industry could create costumes that use advanced technology to offer immersive and interactive play experiences for kids.
