    It’s such an easy costume, and pulling them in a wagon with hay makes is perfect for little ones!

    These are all such great ideas and so cute! I wonder if my going on 14 yo would be into the first one…I think it could work equally well for an older girl.

    These are great, and you’re right just about everything on those lists is already in the house! It’s more fun when you make your own costumes, I think.
