Camel
I saw a camel costume in the supermarket and was sorely tempted to buy it.
Really tempted.
But, of course I didn’t.
Instead I decided that the costume had to cost nothing (or I may as well have bought the supermarket version)
and that it could only take me 2 hours to make (as he’s only wearing it for that long).
So this is what he got:
And old pair of pjamas that don’t really fit,
a cardboard hat
and a vest made out of an old blanket.
For the humps I cut out two big blanket circles, made them into cones, gathered them and then stuffed them with wadding.
I must say I was pretty pleased with myself.
And Joe liked it:

Oh! Can you call a camel Joe? Be careful, I have heard they spit.

Camel-tastic! Love his expression (the camel’s, well, Joe’s too of course).

Joe,
Is that a camel I see eating breakfast in your kitchen?

Don’t you just love little boys, with their willingness to join in the creativity and fun. I had one like that. Does your’s stand by the sewing machine offering suggestions and is so excited that you keep going beyond the start on making dinner?
I love little boys and their willing mothers.
