Costumes

	Cat-Wear a black sweatsuit with tail attached. Tail can be made of stuffed pantyhose or other fabric. Attack ears to a headband for girls, or make a hood (or use a hooded sweatshirt) and attach ears to that.
	Cow-Add black spots to a white sweatsuit, add ears as for cat above on a head band or hood. You can do almost any animal costume with a sweatsuit. Just adapt to whatever animal you like- brown suit with bushy tail for squirrel, large pink sweats stuffed with pillows and corkscrew tail for pig, etc.
	Flower-Use green sweatsuit for body, and make a flower hat/crown. You can make these out of posterboard and tissue paper, or craft one out of fabric. You can also Hot glue petals to a hat you already own. Remember to keep the scale big, so you child looks like a walking flower in bloom. Sunflowers and daisies work very well. Another approach: attach petals at the neck of the sweatshirt, so that your child's head is the center of the flower.
	Pumpkin-Large orange sweat suit, stuffed with pillows. Add a jack-o-lantern face and a pumpkin top on hood, with some leaves for effect! For small kids, just make an orange big with a pumkin face and a bonnet with a pumpkin stump and leaves on it. Cute and easy.
	Grapes- each balloon and pin, tape, or glue balloons to sweatsuit! Make hat out of party hat and cover it with green paper. Have fun!
	Spider-Stuff the legs of three pairs of black pantyhose and attach to a sweatshirt. Be sure to wear all black so your spider matches. Add a red spot on the back of the shirt for a black widow.
	Abraham Lincoln-Make a beard out of fake fur and a top hat out of a coffee can and ice cream bucket lid (see below). Add a copy of the Gettysburg address and you're all set to go. Top Hat-Spray paint a large coffee can and the top of a one gallon ice cream bucket, making them black. Then cut a hole in the ice cream bucket lid, and hot glue it to the can. It is not the most comfortable hat, but it does work well as a prop, and the cost is just pennies (for the paint).
	Carrot and other veggies-Wear an orange sweat- suit, paint face green, and spray hair with green hair spray. Looks even better if you tease hair to stand straight up. If you don't want to do the paint and hairspray, make an orange cap and attach pipecleaners and green yarn to the top. You can adapt any veggie to a sweatsuit costume-just be creative!
