Hi everyone. My 4 DS's school is having a Heros day and, yes, he has to dress up as a hero. I really want to avoid the obvious - Spiderman, Superman, Buzz, etc. I'm sure there'll be hundreds of those and the costumes are so expensive. Has anyone had to do anything similar? I need ideas and inspiration!!!

Soldier, sailor, airman? Especially with convincing wound.

Thank you! I was thinking along those lines too but I can't think of anything I can make at home. I've been looking at Fireman/Policeman outfits and they're still about £12, which is loads. What cna I make at home?!?

THIS is a knights costume I made for my son.
As I've said in the post, ou could easily just wear grey/black track bottoms and top with the tunic over the top. The helmet was made from cardboard. I can email you the template I used if you're interested.

Normal clothes and a badge saying Mummy, daddy, granddad etc is my hero.
