Madeline quickly decided that she wanted to be a vet. I admit, I was really excited about this because the girls had received a play vet kit for Christmas, so we had lots of props. :)
She wanted a "long, white jacket like a doctor", but I convinced her that scrubs would work for a vet. We found lots of scrubs at Goodwill for $3.99. I ran an iron-on transfer through the printer to add her full veterinarian name. The size extra-small top wasn't too bad over some similar colored leggings and a long sleeved t-shirt.
For a finishing touch, I printed out a few fake business cards for her. She kept them in her pocket and told me that she gave her teacher one before she left. :)
Grace had already decided about her career choice long before I asked her (big surprise). She told me that she wanted to be "a person who works at the grocery". I assumed that she meant a cashier, but when I started discussing a cash register, she quickly corrected me that she wanted to be the person who put the food on the shelves. Dream big, little girl!
I picked up a child size canvas apron at Walmart and used an iron on transfer to make her a grocery store logo. The apron didn't have pockets, so I just folded up the bottom and stitched the sides and the middle to make some pockets to hold her stock girl accessories. We added a clip on name tag, a small notebook, some garage sale price tags, and a produce bag that I swiped from Walmart. She shopped her play kitchen for a grocery basket and a few essentials to carry along.
I wish I had a picture of the whole preschool class. They all looked pretty cute today!
