A challenge - humpty dumpty costume!!

[dot1]

ds1's got a fancy dress day at nursery on Oct 7th - the theme is nursery rhyme characters and he really wants to go as Humpty Dumpty...

Any ideas at all about how to go about turning him into HD???!!!!!

how old is he?

How about cutting 2 basic oval shapes out of card or that thin foam stuff , fastening together over the shoulders and at the sides and then adding a face and clothes etc with oddments of card, wallpaper and fabric, collage style. His own arms and legs can stick out as Humpty's

any help?

go to fancy dress shop!!!!!
Get some huge shorts and make a hoop in the waistband to make them stick out weat leggins or tights underneath braces t.shirt and face painst

thanks everyone! He's 3, so the e-bay costume is probably a bit big..! Wanted to avoid fancy dress shops as money's a bit tight - I like the oval shapes idea though - where would I get cardboard/foamy stuff that size from though?

ooh - just seen the pillow idea!! Fab!!!! This just might do it - is the cheapest/easiest option!!!!
