Hello! I'm getting excited about Halloween already. I'd like DS (15 mo) to be a sheep/lamb because "baabaa" is his favorite animal sound, which he says all the time. But I don't want to spend $25-30 on a one-time costume! Have you seen any deals, or even just a sheep hat with ears somewhere, and I'll dress him in white? thank you!

Among others.

I'm with you on the one-time use issue. I'm trying to find a kitty hat and tail for Amaya that she can use as a winter hat/dress up after the fact but I'm having a hard time resisting the Old Navy Kitty costume.

Oh this one is super cute:

You could also easily make your own hat if you wanted to. I seem to recall that the preschoolers who were lambs in our school's christmas pageant wore construction paper hats with ears and cotton balls glued on. You could also just hot glue felt ears/cotton balls to a regular hat, hood or headband. Here are a couple of links to homemade lamb costume ideas:

Our target had an adorable and soft lamb had with chin strap in the toddler/infant girl section. It was stretchy and a dog hat of the same type fit my nephew who is 2.5.

Good luck.
