So I have my costume for our Halloween party on Saturday but I need a quick and easy idea for my daughter's school party on Friday. Not that mine is inappropriate, but the kids won't get it. Any ideas for an easy cosume that 8 year olds would dig?

    The easiest ones for sure are a witch or a vampire!

    My Mom's a teacher's aide and every year she dressed up as a vampire bite victim. She just puts on a band-aid!

    Take a whole bunch of small balloons and put them in a see-through garbage bag (unused of course!). Then, make a hole for your legs and your arms and Voila! You're soap suds... Wear white tights and a shower cap :)

    Toy story is big right now, try being a cowboy. Jeans, bandanna, and boots with a cheap hat. Should be good to go.

    My kids are older now, but I use to make all their costumes.
    Green or purple grapes, green or purple sweats with corresponding color balloons pinned on.

    Hobo - patch of diff color material glued or loosely sewn on jeans, beard painted, a filled handkerchief tied to end of a stick.

    Christmas present - a box wrapped in xmas paper big enough for them to fit over body, cut holes for arms, a tag (to: from tied on) bow. my daughter won a contest with this one

    pumpkin - those leaf bags filled w some paper crumpled w holes for arms and legs .

    My youngest was a speed bump a couple yrs ago, very funny to adults, the kids did not really get it. painted a piece of cardboard yellow, glued a green painted yardstick to it and painted "Speed bump ahead" on it. Yellow sweats with black tire tracks across them.

    Years ago I did something similar to femininguns. I took a drycleaners bag and put over my god daughters head. put in arm holes then filled with small colorful balloons. tied the bottom around her legs and ties a couple of balloons to her ponytail. I made a label and she went as a bag of jellybeans.
    She was adorable.

    Scientist or doctor/nurse is easy if you have a lab coat.
