If you are a Little House on the Prairie fan, it can be great fun to dress up as Laura Ingalls Wilder and pretend you are playing on the open prairie or even learning lessons from Ma at home. For dressing up, you need pioneer-style bonnets and calico dresses, like what Laura and her sisters wore.
If you can sew, there are some patterns available to sew your own Little House costume. If you aren’t a sewer (although some of the patterns are suitable for beginners, with very helpful instructions!), you can look at buying costumes or pieces online or at local thrift stores.
It is easy to turn a regular dress you already have at home to seem more pioneer-like by simply adding a bonnet and apron over the dress. Aprons are frequently at thrift stores, so look for one that is either white or with a floral print, although you may need to shorten it to make it more child-sized.
