  • Hats, aprons, bags, boxes, toy tools

Let's play

  1. Set out dress-up things and ask: who uses this?
  2. Pick a helper to be: a chef, doctor, mail carrier or firefighter.
  3. Act out their job. Who do they help?
  4. Swap and try another helper!
Grown-up tip: A box can be a fire truck, a mail truck or a food truck.
