Q. I have a child in the nursery with special needs who loves to play with the dressing up clothes but has difficulty fitting in to most of them. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

A. J&M Toys has a huge range of dressing up clothes for children from three to eight years, covering all types of work wear such as Medical Team and Street Life, as well as Multicultural, Knights at Arms and a whole host of animals from Dalmations to Dinosaurs! All the outfits are designed to be worn over the children's own clothes, so are easy to put on. It is worth ringing the company on 01274 599314 to discuss your particular requirements, as they may be able to make up something especially to fit the child in question.

Another company worth contacting is Rubies Masquerade. Its range includes more than 500 dressing up items in all sizes, from small children to large adults, and they come in a huge variety of styles, including Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Batman and Harry Potter, as well as the more traditional witches, princesses and cowboys. Prices range from a few pounds up to 60, and if an outfit is not in stock you can order it from Mail Order Express. Check availability on the company's website www.mailorderexpress.comor telephone 08700 129090.
