The school have just announced that the children are "allowed" to come in dressed as a famous person from another country (ie presumably not British) and I have only four days notice. Any ideas for something easy for someone that my five year old boy or seven year old girl will have heard of? I've spent two hours searching the web and mumsnet and given up!
To give you a hint of my lack of abilities, costumes I've managed for other dressing up days have been Harry and his Bucket full of Dinosaurs (ordinary clothes plus a bucket of dinosaurs!), Dorothy from Wizard of Oz (nice dress, carrying a dog) and a donkey (made a hat /ears and a tail from a pair of tights and some wool).
