school want the children to dress as nursery rhyme characters friday.any ideas for boys?

[mumandlovingit]

ive got two boys and only normal power rangers/buzz lightyear costumes etc.

any ideas for nursery rhyme characters that i can use their normal clothes with and adapt a little?

i really dont want to go out and buy more costumes.

we've got buzz lightyear/batman/power rangers/cowboy/indian

any ideas would be great

Doctor Foster? Drs outfit - white coat if you have one, ot maybe white shirt, medical bag and umbrella?

Jack horner - normal clothes, pie 'prop' playdough plum on his thumb? Very hard for boys I think.

Little Boy Blue - all in blue with a toy sheep tied witha blue ribbon to a tall stick.

Wee Willie Winkie - a nightshirt (one of your dp's shirts) or pjs and dressing gown, slippers, a nightcap and a candle.

easiest ones are ones that only need a 'prop' and are otherwise in normal clothes
Little Jack Horner / Simple Simon (add pie)
Little Boy Blue (must have some blue clothes) Knave of Hearts (add crown with heart on and jam tarts)
All in black with extra legs made of stuffed tights as Incy Wincy Spider, or even Miss Muffet's spider
white shirt of dh's, stethoscope and bag for Dr Foster
Pin paper crescent moon to any clothes for Man in the Moon
Cuddly sheep for 'boy who lived down the lane'
Add silver foiled buckles to shoes for Bobby Shafto
Pumpkin (very seasonal) for Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater
Recorder etc for Peter Piper?

thanks for the ideas.the kids dont have any sheep so i'll have a look through for the other ideas.

its so cold here at the moment and i dont want to dress them so they'll be cold!

i'll have a root through.

georgy porgy, same clothes as uaual, he just snogs all the girls and then legs it!

could do the jack & jill one with brown paper & bucket.

would shirt & trousers be right for that? or normal top & trousers.

most of his clothes have characters on like batman or spiderman!!

good idea.thanks.

i'll do both the kids the same and find little buckets for them to take.im sure ive got beach buckets somewhere.

i started back at work today so ive got housing, tax credits mongst working during the week and now ive got to sort all this out too.

these things all happen at once to test us dont they

send him in with a bucket with a hole in it

dear liza dear liza

wee willy winky runs thru the town, upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown...

little boy blue... (with a little horn/trumpet, God knows where you would get one from!)

He could be 'a butcher, a baker or candlestick maker...'

i dont know really, boys are harder...
