    fancy dress help

    I need to pick all your brains please.

    We are all going to an australian themed fancy dress bar-b-q at the weekend.

    My 4 yr old is the only one dressing up (mainly because it's his and his brother's birthday partys the next day and I can't face the extra hassle of getting us all togged out lol)

    I need to know what to dress him as bearing in mind that a) it needs to be free or cheap, b) I am rubbish at sewing and making things and c) I only have 5 days to sort it.

    Thanks

    OH says just sew some corks round his hat, but all our wine bottles we have had recently are screw tops! Plus I was hoping to be more imaginative than that.....

    Aborigine would be quite cheap and easy, if it was adults as well I would go as Gordon Ramsey

      borrow a kangaroo (toy one of course), stick him in something that you can pin a pocket onto the front of and then pop the baby kangaroo in his pocket....he's a kangaroo!

                  Our suggestions are:
                  surfer dude (long shorts, flipflops, white stripes on cheeks & cardboard surfboard) shark (grey top, grey tights, grey cardboard fin & big teeth) - one child could be shark & other surfer and pretend to eat / wrestle each other.
                  Dame Edna Everage (purple dress, sparkly glasses, flowers)
                  Rolf Harris (flowery shirt, jeans, painted on beard & fake didgerdo),
                  Outlaw Ned Kelly (lumberjack shirt, jeans, cereal box painted grey with eye slits and plonked on head - sorry not very health and safety that one)

                        I bet Aborigine would be most fun for him!

                              Alas I am not dressing up.

                              I was inspired the other night and decided to dress the boys as surfer dudes... they will have swimming trunks, muscle vests, bandana, and I have made surf boards (from my greenhouse polystyrene winter collection) and I have decorated them with aussie pictures. They even have shark bites out of them!

                              Not cost me a penny
