to dress my 18 mth old as a geography teacher for Halloween?

OK, so we're supposed to dress our children up for playgroup tomorrow in honour of Halloween. It's an American playgroup (I live in Spain) and I didn't realise dressing up was required. SOoooo..I have cut one of DH's ties in half (AND hemmed it, v domestic) and am planning to dress DS (18 mths) in his grey trousers, a white short sleeved shirt and a tie and to draw a little moustache on him. Then I'll say he's a geography teacher. Or a bank manager.

I know this is a bit crap...but HOW crap is it? Is it too crap to actually do? Any other last minute ideas for Halloween costumes (don't have to be scary, apparently) that can be made in less than 15 mins by someone quite cack-handed with normal stuff lying around the average home??

Wow that kid has poise. He's the coolest geography teacher I've ever seen!

Fab moustache! Very Dali-esque!

Do it, give him specs and a calculator and say he's Bill Gates.

No, it was me being thick - I think it works now though

OMG!! That poor boy!!

Stark I can't get on to see your profile, am I doing something particularly stupid? When I click on your name it just sort of highlights the name (if that makes sense!)blush

ROFL at this thread. Glad it went well.

Agree, its quite easy to avoid the Hitler moustache look. I am shock that anyone would send their child as Hitler, even in the 70s - and I am a 70s child too! My mother was young during the war, she would not have dreamt of dressing one of us up as Hitler, lol.

nonono! where did this Hitler thing come from?! Hitler wasn't a geography teacher and not ALL men with moustaches are fascist dictators..are they?
