Prairie Halloween
Posted in cross stitch on 10/11/2009 11:50 pm by adminHelp with ideas for a costume (as a teacher) for our 4th grade character parade?
At our school, instead of random Halloween costumes, students and teachers are asked to dress up as a character from one of their favorite books. It's my first year and I'm having problems thinking up character ideas that are both recognizable to fourth graders, creative, and *inexpensive* to make. A lot of the fourth grade books I can think of are lacking defining characteristics of their main characters (Witches - Roald Dahl, Ramona Quimby, Judy Blume books, etc.)
I keep coming back to Laura Ingalls Wilder, but I'm not sure it will be easy to find a prairie dress. Some other ideas are Julie of "Julie of the Wolves" but the fur parka may be difficult too. I know there are millions of great books out there but my creativity is off the past few days. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!
hmm
there are some you can use...
what about James and the Giant Peach? or Jumanji?
Also The Gruesome Guide to World Monsters, Circle of Doom, Atherton Book 1: The House of Power... those could make neats costume material!
