Am I the only one here who just does “silly” for Purim? When I was a child I’d pick out the strangest combination of clothes from everyone’s closets and have fun wearing the kind of thing you couldn’t get away with any other day of the year (my mom’s brilliant idea). My son’s costume this year is similar and involves using up my leftover yarn scraps – but I can’t tell how, it’s a surprise!

Tamar, I like that idea. But I think many kids want to be able to answer the question, What are you dressed up as?

When I was little I won a prize with the “snake charmer costume.” The outfit itself is harem pants, or “sharwall” pants, maybe a bolero top, you can wrap your head in a scarf, add bangle bracelts, jewelry, etc.
But the piece de resistance is to make the snake:
Cut a hole in the bottom of a basket (or cardboard box decorated as a “snake box”) big enough for your hand to go through. Use either a long glove, or just makeup to dress up your arm like a snake, and put it through the hole in the basket. Glue a glove to the basket to represent the hand that isn’t really there!
You can tie a recorder around the neck too.

cross posted at shomer shekalim:
My daughter came home from gan yesterday with cheap yellow fabric cut like a set of tzitzis to go over the head (round the corners to eliminate halachic issues) with black stripes of felt glued on it. On her head, she had a thick piece of black construction paper with two yellow pipe cleaners threaded through for feelers… She was a really cute bee for probably about 20 shekels with loads of leftover materials.
You could easily do ladybugs this way too. And this is great if you have a few kids who want to dress up the same, as there is an economy of scale.

my not quite 5 yo son wants to be a policeman–at least this week he does.

I think you’ll need to invest in a hat for that one, but ask around. I think we have one in our bag. They often come with a badge. But remember, the point of a policeman costume is to carry a gun.

both the girls want to be brides this year. I know this is probably one of the most popular costumes, which is why I want to talk hem out of it. I think unique is more fun. although it has it’s limits. our first year here I dressed the baby as a hershey’s kiss. it was super cute and really easy, but the Israelis really didn’t get it. If you want to do it, you just cover a cone-style birthday hat in foil and run a white ribbon out the top of it. write “HERSHEY’S” in blue on the ribbon. I sewed a “tube” of silver fabric and elastic on both ends. all white clothes underneath, and you’re done. although I also made some little silver booties that were very cute.

rabbiswife, if they want to be brides why not? They don’t care if they’re not unique. Just as boys want to carry guns, girls want to dress up in a long dress.

Sigh. It’s just my artsy side wanting them to break the mold. My mom is already started on making the dresses. it’s a project after her own heart. They’ll be the poofiest, whitest, bridey-est girls in shul.

I’m dressing up as an Indian this year, in a sari (with a shirt underneath, duh.)
Admit it, a stroke of genius. 
My brother though, is dressing up as a jewish pirate. He’s going to wear tzitzit over a red or whit shirt, wear boots, blue pants, a bandana and a pirate hat, a sword (of course) and Gelt.
I always make my family’s purim costumes, because I’m artistic and i know how to sew. It’s very fun. we almost never buy them. except for the swords and stuff.
