Mini snowboarder is to be a king in the pre school nativity....*proud*...but he needs a costume...help! I'm not really very 'crafty' - cant sew - but would like to make rather than buy so he can help me. Any ideas from seasoned Christmas nativity mums? I can imagine this will be the first of many costumes....ugh....I hate fancy dress!!

Awwww SB, make sure you take tissues. He'll be so cute.


So, look for charity shop velvet curtains as a cloak - just tack some ribbon on the top edges to tie it with; use one of your old glittery/silky dresses or tops underneath and get some silver/gold card to make a crown. You can either get 'jewels' from a craft shop (Mr Green in DV sells them I think) or you can make some from painted pasta, or bits of coloured sweetie paper bet mini SB involved if you think he'll enjoy it. PVA glue is your friend :)


I'm sure others will be along with better ideas than me, but didn't want to read & run.

The supermarkets have responded to this and do costumes for under a tenner

At the school where I taught for centuries we made a 'nativity' set of costumes and just got them down and reused them every year. No hassle for parents or staff...but laundering heaps of mucky costumes, that I don't miss!

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
