I need help from the creative people.

J needs to dress up as his favorite character from a book. He picked The Lorax, although I have no idea where that idea came from. I think we have read that book maybe twice and he has no real interest in it.

Suggestions on turning him into The Lorax?

Can he be another character from the book or it has to be his fave - The Lorax?

[lexxasaurus]

That's my favorite book but I have no idea how you'd do that. Stick a crazy yellow Lorax 'stache on him and give him a sign that reads "UNLESS".

What about something like this? Super easy and recognizable. My neighbor made this for her son.

Dress in orange, then do this glasses-and-mustache combo: blondieandcurls.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/diy-lorax-costume/



seems pretty do-able.

eta: I found this searching pinterest. There are a few other pretty easy looking options too.

I like that glasses and mustache combo.

I love the Lorax, its G's favorite book and movie. I would dress him up as the Onceler, with a boa for a thneed.

I was thinking he could be a little Barbaloot in its Barbaloot suit!

Very cute. I wonder if I can pull off making that.

Screw the Lorax, make him a mini Christian Grey - worked out well for this kid " rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_27658979/11-year-old-sent-home-from-school-christian.
I love the sweatshirt with mustache option the most.

Orange hoodie with the facial hair somehow attached to the hood?

ETA: Like a much simpler version of this

I did The Lorax for my class play last year (8 yr olds) , and my 4 year old was the Lorax that year, too. For both, the kid wore an orange sweatshirt and knit cap, orangeish pants and we taped a piece of yellow boa from Michael's on as a mustache (you need to trim near the nostrils so the kid doesn't get the feathers up his nose.)
