I think this idea would be so cute for a group of neighborhood girlfriends/classmates. Or have your kids dress as little flowers and one of them a bumblebee..cute cute.

Woodland Creatures.
Take your basic earth tone knit clothing and attatch with 

Cheerleader.
Love how they created the pleated skirt out of strips of yellow sponge cloths and blue tape. the pom poms are made from checkered mop heads!

Knight and Dragon
Everything you need for this knight costume is a visit to the baking isle!
 and the dino spikes are made from sponges. how clever.
