Sesame Street Gang Family Costume

My 2 year old son is obsessed with Cookie Monster (and cookies in general) and insisted on being him for Halloween. This meant that I had to plan our costumes around this theme and make sure they were warm as it is always freezing here on Halloween. Elmo and Cookie Monster were very simple. We already had the red and blue clothes, so I simply bought Styrofoam balls and black felt for the eyes and used Velcro to attach them to the red and blue felt. Cookies were felt as well. I wanted to make the baby was super warm, so I thought making him Oscar the Grouch in a nice warm trash can would be perfect! My husband (the trash can) is also just in his gray clothes with a trash can lid attached to the hood with giant safety pins. Oscar the Grouch is just in a green hoodie with felt eyes and craft fur eyebrows. Then I just bought a warm gray fleece blanket, drew trash can lines on it, and added the felt "scram" sign. Piece of cake and super warm for everyone! :)
