New Year's carnivals, KVNs, various evenings of humor… Teachers in schools and kindergartens do not try to diversify the leisure time of students. This is not bad, but here's the problem: no, no, and yes, they are required for one stage action, for another, costumes for your child.

What we can offer

No matter how strange it may seem at first glance, it is easier to build such a suit from improvised material. How exactly? And here, turn on both you and your child's imagination! For example:

• A scene is played out involving aliens. What you need? Black training suit (or white, green, in a word, plain and without stripes). Sheathe it with a film so that it shines (putting trousers on your child separately, a trowel separately). A mask for swimming under water is suitable for the face, medical or work gloves for hands. Attach fins to your shoes on your feet. The humanoid suit from improvised material is ready. It will cause laughter and fun among the friends of the son (or daughter) and will cheer everyone up. And your creativity will be highly appreciated!
• A scary mummy can be funny. Don't believe?Then get 5 rolls of regular toilet paper. Remember the corresponding episode from the adventures of Carlson, who lives on the roof, and build a suit from improvised material. Wrap your child with paper, only leave flaps hanging in places with unevenly torn ends. Leave the brushes free, hide them in gloves. Wrap your legs up to your feet as well. Bandage the head with the face, making cuts for the eyes, mouth and nose. Draw a creepy grin, circle the eye circles in black. Well, how? Both fun and scary, right? Were you convinced that such a costume made from improvised material can be very effective? Well! Just let your child not forget to howl from time to time at the matinee, sigh heavily, or somehow show signs of an “afterlife” existence. Can you imagine how classmates will laugh?



• Pirate costume. Or pirates. Well, there is nothing special to think about. The “nail” of the outfit is a vest. There is no such thing - any long T-shirt-topic-t-shirt (optionally with a long sleeve) of white color is painted with stripes. Felt pens or ordinary paints will do. Straight lines are optional, by the way. And then you need ordinary pants (jeans are also good, especially torn ones). We make a belt from red material, and a bandana from it. An eye patch can be made from an ordinary rubber band and a mug of paper. Consider that you have already made a children's costume from improvised materials. The final touches are boots. Treads (lapels) are made of cardboard. Plug a couple of toy guns into your belt. Or cut a dagger out of wood. Insert the ear clip into your ear. It will come out believable and interesting.
• And, finally, such an offer: the costume of the Fairy-Spring. It is suitable for a girl of kindergarten age or primary school age. For an outfit, take your daughter's dress, elegant, but already one that the girl does not wear and which is not a pity to "spoil". On the sleeves and skirt, cut the material lengthwise into triangles. These will be some kind of petals. From colored and corrugated paper, cut out flowers of different colors and shapes. Sew or stick on the material. It turns out bright, elegant, beautiful, isn't it? Decorate the shoes too. Style your hair beautifully, put a wreath of paper flowers on your head, attaching them to a hoop wire.

What will be the result of a costume from improvised materials, the photo will give you a complete picture. The proposed ideas can be supplemented with your own, come up with something else special, original. The main thing is that everything is done with sincere desire and pleasure.
