The Penguin Costume

All my 4 year old wanted to be for Halloween was the Penguin from Batman! I have never heard of a kid wanting to be the Penguin, Batman yes, but never the Penguin! I was super excited to try to pull this off for him! I found a tuxedo on e-bay and purple pants from the thrift store. We had a magician's hat, so I went to the craft store and bought purple foam to adhere to it. I found a purple bow tie at the thrift store, the penguin's umbrella on ebay, and the cigarette holder at a Halloween store. The hardest part was the monocle. I found fake black plastic glasses at the dollar store, cut them in half and secured an elastic sting to create the monocle. He absolutely had a blast and was in character everywhere we went. He won a prize in the costume contest at our neighborhood Halloween party! Tons of fun and tons of compliments!
