Great Disguises

I will be using disguises in a summer program at the library. The instuctions for the glasses and beards are very easy to understand and the pictures are fantastic.

Not just for Halloween

This is a wonderful book for the creative spirit or crafty mom. Instead of spending your hard earned cash on flimsy costumes that may get only one wear, you can make your own. It includes a multitude of colorful photos and easy to follow, step-by-step instructions to make many exciting and unique costumes. Some of them include: a king, robot, knight in shining armour, magician, cowboy and hula girl. This would be a great book to use for Halloween costumes as well as for dress up and role play. Many of the costumes can be made by kids themselves. It will save you money and the kids will have a great time.

Clever Ideas using Recyclables

I enjoyed this book because most of the items for making the costumes you can find around the house.
