With a six year-old Spark goblin having last-minute reservations about being a muskrat for Hallowe’en, we are using a variation of a SUPER Story Starters question as fodder for costume ideas. We have six lonely water noodles in our garage. So, “What could you use a water noodle for in a Hallowe’en costume?”
We put the question out to the Spark Your Imagination Facebook fans and added their fantastically creative ideas to this growing list…. (a big thanks for your additions!)
- a broom (perfect for the Potters out there) – add some twigs & twine to one end
- a bowl of Spaghetti – with some tomato sauce?
- a dinosaur tail
- a pirate’s peg leg
- a worm… or a whole can of them!
- legs for a spider or ladybug
- a balance beam for a tight rope walker
- a breathing tube for an astronaut (bring up that ski helmet & put a box on his or her back to attached ‘airpipe’ to)
- a fire fighter hose – the only other thing you need is a hat to complete the costume!
- a unicorn horn
- a light sabre for Hans Solo (ah, but soft)
- tail spikes for a dragon or dinosaur
- cut up into sea urchin spikes
- cut up into logs for a lumberjack (and not too heavy!)
- a snake
- an extra arm for any costume … very ghoulish!
- padding for your football or hockey player
- Whimpy Kid hair
- octapus arms
- a bouquet (with flowers made from colourful gift tissue topping the noodles)
- a bunch of asparagus (circling your body with a ribbon tied to keep it all together)
Do you have any ideas to add? We’d love to hear them! Please comment below or post on www.Facebook.com/SparkYourImagination.
