World book day-Hansel and Gretal or Cinderella. Help!

[Sarahwilkie]

Hi i look after a 5 year old boy and he has to dress up as a character from Cinderella or Hansel and Gretel on Thursday. Any ideas?! Thanks in advance.

For Hansel you need a pair of shorts with long think socks and braces over a checked shirt. (think Lederhosen) You could give him lots of gingerbread to carry, but he might eat it all.

And a funny hat and some big boots.

something like this

Probably easiest to do.

Thanks thats a great idea! Would have been so much easier if we were able to choose the book character ourselves seeing as we are not supposed to go out and buy anything.
