I'm pretty sure reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a rite of passage in childhood; which makes this an easy sell to tweens/teens when trying to get them to dress up! The best part, it is so cheap and quick to throw together, I only had to buy a few supplies for about 10 bucks and BAM props & costume done.
What you need:
- Cookie
- Cardboard box (poster board, old box, whatever you can find that is big enough to make the circle)
- Light brown paint & dark brown paint (about 97 cents each)
- Sheet black poster board (cut odd shaped "chocolate chips"
- Large bowl (to trace perfect circle)
- Scissors
- Ears
- Brown headband (I got a pack of three at Dollar Tree)
- Dark brown felt (33 cents a sheet)
- Light (or dark) pink felt
- Craft glue
- Ear template (the one I used is found HERE)
- Outfit
- Overalls
- White tee
- A pair of white shoes (Vans, Keds, really any slip-on will work- cheap Wal-Mart pair of Faded Glory will do the trick)
- Face Paint
- Black eye liner
Happy Tricks & Treats Friends!
