Role play is an essential part of human development and most of our social and identity-building skills are defined in childhood, through role-play. The purpose of this project was to interpret the role play and imaginary play part of Alfons Åbergs everyday life theory into a wearable artefact of play that through role-play and social interaction enhances social development and empathy, stimulates imagination and encourages friendship.
Stick with me is a collection of apparel from which children can build their own crazy creatures where both role-play and social interaction can be achieved. It consists of vests, hats, shoes and a lot of attachable objects like horns, eyes and tentacles.There is also a big body that can either be attached to yourself or used as a separate creature.All objects and pieces are attached to each other with velcro and can easily be ripped of and moved.
