Sandwich
Think of sandwich boards in the literal sense. To make: purchase three pieces of foam, about three square feet. Cut two pieces into the shape of bread and the third into a circle. With brown felt, add crust to your bread and cover the circle piece in red felt for a tomato. Cut pink felt into a circle for bologna and create jagged leafy-green felt lettuce. Attach the bologna, lettuce and tomato to one piece of bread. Create and attach felt suspenders to both pieces of bread so that the costume hangs comfortably over your child’s shoulders. Top it off with an olive: cover a Styrofoam half circle in green felt, add a red pompom and use string to make it a hat. Brown clothes underneath work best.
Approx. cost: $25.
