Tips & Warnings
Use an old pillowcase instead of towels for a child's costume: Cut out a neck hole and two armholes to make the glass of milk. Make cardboard cookies instead of foam and carry or pin to your costume.
If you are making a child's costume, make sure it will allow the child to move freely without tripping.
