Quadruplets Ideas for Twin Day
Twin Day is a fair or festival that honors twins, triplets, quadruplets and larger groups of children born together. The idea is also used by schools during spirit week festivities. The focus of the event is on getting participants to dress alike. Quadruplet ideas for Twin Day include costumes from popular movies and clothing pulled directly from the closet.

Matching Outfits
-
On Twin Day, you will likely see a large number of people in matching outfits or outfits that are very similar. Make the idea work for quadruplets by picking outfits that are exactly the same, but with a few minor differences that set each person apart. For example, have everyone wear a matching suit, but let each person pick his own accessories. One boy might wear a purple tie and handkerchief, while his brothers opt for green, red and blue. Use the same idea for groups of girls, picking matching dresses in four different colors.
Celebrity Costumes
-
Celebrity costumes for quadruplets include costumes from movies and TV shows featuring four separate characters. A mixed group might like a set of "Flintstones" costumes -- Barney, Betty, Fred and Wilma. "The Wizard of Oz" also works well because you have the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Dorothy. Teenage girls or young women might opt for the women from "Sex and the City." Assign a different role to each person in the group.

Literary Picks
-
The literary world is full of potential costume ideas for quadruplets on Twin Day. Use the characters from "Harry Potter" in one of two ways. One idea involves dressing as the main characters, including Harry, Hermione, Ron and Dumbledore. The second idea is to dress as the supporting cast and teachers from the school, such as Snape and McGonagall. Younger boys might prefer to go as the "four musketeers," complete with fake swords and fake mustaches -- check to make sure the fake swords don't violate school policy. For younger children, use popular picture books and poems as inspiration. For example, dress the children as the cow, moon, fork and spoon.
Musician Options
-
As long as you have four willing participants, it's possible to dress as a famous band. Pick a band that included four individual players, such as The Beatles or The Doors. Assign roles based on the band members and ask each person in the group to dress as a different member of the band. Make your own fake instruments from cardboard to complete the band look.
