Star CapeSilk Capes are a staple of dress up and dramatic play. They are silky soft yet durably made from heavyweight silk. An elastic neckband and shell button make them easy to put on and take off. Dress up play benefits children cognitively, physically, socially, and emotionally. Open ended play allows children to express their imagination. Dramatic play gives the imagination free reign. The costume pieces support the unique creative needs of each child.
