Read Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback. Talk about clothing words that children may not know, such as overcoat or vest. Compare them to clothes children wear and discuss where they might have seen them. For example, they might be familiar with Woody's vest in “Toy Story.” Bring in samples to show and add them to dramatic play. This could be done in large group.
