Effort: Quick and easy — no sewing required Materials:

Black derby hat Worn-out blazer White dress shirt or undershirt Black pants Worn out black shoes Black face paint (or mom’s eye pencil) Black mascara (or black eye shadow) Cane

Instructions: Dress your child in all the clothes, leaving the hat until last. Leave the shirt untucked. Apply eye shadow to the entire area of both eyes. Draw a small, wide mustache that doesn’t quite extend the width of your child’s upper lip. Darken your child’s eyebrows, too. Other details: Remind your child to walk with his feet pointing outward, twirling the cane below his knees. (Doing this from time to time will suffice.) More Costume Ideas
