Trying to think of "unique" Halloween costume for LO.
Can you name some girl characters from classic children books or movies?
Off the top of my head: Madeline, Pippi Longstocking, Rageddy Ann, Wendy from Peter Pan

Heh when I was little my dad dressed me as a mini Annie Hall for 3 years running! (My dad is weird).
-
Amelia Bedilia!

That's a good idea to base a costume! Wish I thought of it!
FWIW: Heidi is Swiss, she wouldn't wear a lederhosen (that's the outfit for men) but a dirndl. But that's German, lol. I know because I tried to offer it up as a solution for our son's costume this year and my husband was all offended, lol.

Mary from The Secret Garden
Pollyanna
Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird

Dorothy from Wizard of OzMovies:
The Childlike Empress from Neverending Story
Wednesday from Addams Family
Pebbles from The Flintstones
Annie
Toby from Labyrinth (not a girl, but I think it would be fine) -
Zelda
Chun Li -
Carmen Sandiago? lol! Red coat and hat, doesn't matter that she's bald
-
@SugarplumsMom: I'm def doing Chun Li in a few years when she has enough hair for two buns!
-
@looch: haha ok, I think I had a book growing up that drew her in the little leiderhosen (with dress attached, is that a dirndl?) But apparently it was not accurate
-
She's not from a book or movie, but what about Amelia Earhart? LO could wear a pilot's cap . . . no need for hair!
-
@MsLipGloss: she would never keep anything ON her head on.
-
@prettylizy: best idea ever!
-
@FutureMrsMcK: I don't know why, but this made me laugh so hard.
@locavore_mama: I only know who they are because I just happen to know a bunch of girls in the 3-7 range that love both.
matilda.
