Let’s Play Dress Up {with KuKee and Hello Kitty}

Tuesday, November 19, 2013 6 Comments

 

“This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and KuKee, but all my opinions are my own. #PMedia #hellokittyletsplay  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.”

 

To say that V is a die hard Hello Kitty fan, is well, an understatement.  I really don’t know how her HK love began…maybe that it was a kitty (she loooved kitties when she was little) & that it was a cute girly kitty to boot?!  Who knows – I really just think that all girls have a direct magnetism towards all things Hello Kitty :)  Since she was about two-years-old, her Grammy, my mom, has been feeding her Hello Kitty addiction with an abundance of pink kitty love!

Let’s Play Dress Up #hellokittyletsplay #pretendplay #dressup

 

As part of this fab, brand new, line of Hello Kitty clothing called “Let’s Play Dress Up” from Evy of California (exclusively at Macy’s), pretend play & dress up are the MAIN component.

Well, how does that fit & benefit us – The Hello Kitty/homeschooling/pretend play fanatics?! ;)  Here’s how…





As you know by now, homeschooling has become our path recently & a HUGE proponent of homeschooling FOR US, is pretend play & dress up.  We have a ginormous closet just for dress up clothing (take a peek here).  I can’t even begin to tell you how many times (or many ways) miss V loves to dress like a ballerina (or a fishing ballerina lol).  She says she wants to be a ballerina when she grows up, or a gymnast :)  She practices her “ballerina” moves every.single.day. even though the girl has never attended a ballet class in her life.  She’s a real book lover & has learned all of her “ballerina” moves from her books.  Maybe it’s time this mama signs her up for a ballet class, huh?!  Right now she’s enrolled in gymnastics, which she loves, but I think ballet is the next step.

When preschoolers, like V, use their imaginations through dress up or pretend play, they are also working on other important academic and emotional muscles. When V wears her “ballerina” outfit and she’s twirling around in a pirouette, leaping in the air, or bending her legs in a plié – her imagination is full blown, practicing what she has seen in her books over and over. When she’s imagining herself as a “gymnast”, by balancing on a pretend balance beam, climbing a rope, or tumbling on the floor, she’s actually learning.

And V is never silent when she plays dress up – No siree, Bob! (she’s a talker, hmmm where does she get that from lol) – I ALWAYS hear her having conversations with herself.  I sometimes catch her in her conversations & when she catches my eye, she says “mommy I’m just pretending, is that silly?!”  It is silly, but it’s a good & necessary silly for growth.  Her mind is always going and growing – continuously churning!  Children that allow their imaginations to run wild with pretend play & dress up become great problem solvers as adults. Why?! Because, creative thinking grows with continued use and ongoing practice – so, the more pretend play & dress up – the more the brain is growing with problem solving skills.

So, now you can see how stoked we were when we discovered a combination of Hello Kitty AND pretend play, TOGETHER – well, this little girl was literally doing cartwheels!  And the added bonus of a fun app on my phone – little miss was SERIOUSLY tickled pink over all this Hello Kitty.  So let me tell you about all this fun we had with the KuKee app & the Hello Kitty Dress Up Series.

After trying on MANY (& I mean MANY – I do believe I’ve created a little fashionista!) Hello Kitty outfits at Macy’s, miss V decided on her two loves…

the PERFECT ballerina ensemble – super girly, with a fluffy skirt and huge bow – ideal for twirling & posing.

Even Hello Kitty got to dress up!!!!

The ballerina outfit came with a fun little Velcro patch to attach to Hello Kitty on her dress :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this line (did I say that already?!)

and the PERFECT gymnast ensemble – sporty & comfortable with a soft velour fabric and a touch of girly in the princess crown headband –  ideal for climbing & tumbling.

And here’s how the cool KuKee app works, in their words:

KuKee is an augmented virtual reality app that is being shared and distributed via Evy of California’s new Hello Kitty Let’s Play DRESS UP Clothing Line at Macy’s (in stores now, and ready for you to shop). Once the KuKee app is opened, use it to scan the cloth tag/marker on the garment and the Hello Kitty Dress Up experience will come to life. Your little girls can dress Hello Kitty up in different garments, crowns and accessories, take a picture and share it with their friends.

Now let’s break it down visually – aka Mama Miss style, shall we :)

Now, for more fun stuff!!

There is also the social scavenger hunt!  What’s that you say?!

Well, if your kiddos are anything like V, they’ll love a good hide & seek game or a scavenger hunt!

So read up here on how to make it happen :)

Wait, get back here – don’t run out the door to Macy’s yet!!

Before you go – download the KuKee app via the app store & start off your fun with your very first little pink KuKee by scanning here.

(you can also get some tips & fun stuff on their Pinterest board too)

 

 

Because you never know about that cell service & how it’s going to work when you are buried in Hello Kitty clothing in Macy’s dressing rooms – it might not be too great – you gotta plan ahead!!   oh & shhhhhh!  Cyber Monday and Black Friday Macy’s sales are coming up too & a little pink KuKee told me that they will be having a sale on all the Hello Kitty Let’s Play items.  wink wink ;)

And once you’ve downloaded & scanned – don’t forget to share all your fun KuKee-ness on social media too!

    This is just too cute! Big fan of hello kitty myself since I was a kid, quite agree with the magnetism towards all HK things. :) My favorite part is the ballerina outfit with velcro patch also. Will try to use the KuKee app for my cute little niece, she’s a big fan as well. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Gorgeous pictures! We choose the same second outfit but we had to resist buying up the whole line! :) I thought the velcro patch outfit change was pretty ingenious and fun!

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
