A fancy dress day is the pleasant times in life. If this is at the school level for your little toddler then use things that are easy to wear and detach. Velcro is a real boon during these times. For a general theme of fancy dress, dress your baby as a fairy, angel or the typical Indian goddess. Flamboyance, make up and ornaments to deck up your daughter as a Mahalaxmi, Durga or Laxmi. For boys there are many ideas like a sport star, farmer, baker or a shop owner.
Singing and dancing is an integral part of growing up. All children exhibit a keen interest in the area of fine arts. Take this opportunity to dress your child as a rock star and there are fake tattoos, bike jackets, nose rings, face make up and also accessories to let them have the look. A dancer’s image can be western or Indian. Let them dress as a Bhratnatyam exponent or use some skill as a flamenco dancer. The idea is to let them get into an avatar that speaks about their personality.
Environment and ecology awareness ideas usually do much on the stage. Dress them as a plastic bag and use some dialogues like ‘I am a plastic bag loved by all. You cannot do without me.’ Similarly make a paper bag on the reverse of the participant who says ‘I am gonna replace you plastic. Here I come to save the world.’ Make your child dress as a creeper or a tree with minimal dialogues. Dress your child as earth and show some pictures of floods. This is easy for small children who are yet to speak. Conveying through pictures or written work is also allowed in most competitions.
For a vegetable fancy dress day the easiest is to dress the child as tomato or potato. Use a white card paper and draw the picture of the same. Use similar shades akin to the vegetable and let the child help you with the same. A head stalk affixed to a cap for a chili costume or brinjal is certainly an advantage. Get some benefits of the vegetable like peas and make a small rhyme if you can. Choose words that convey and yet easy to pronounce.
