What great ideas! The L2S's will be the belles of the ball!

White don't you dress up as two bars of white choccie cadburys snowflakes? Wrap yourselves in cardboard boxes (painted white) then get some yellow crepe paper (or whatever the colour of the wrapping is) and stick it with pva glue over the top. The pva will dry see through and then you can get a permanent marker and write the words on the wrapper!
a flake a white flake

Didn't learn anything from the wolfbagging thread?

... add a stuff toy dog and some yellow food colouring dribbled here and there... and voila... a familiar wintery scene.

Love it MMC but I was at work until 9pm last night and it's already 3.10pm, so sadly not enough time.



Hows about wearing dark clothes & putting 'fake dandruff' on your shoulders - unless you have the real thing
And Mr L2S was wearing his black shirt to work today - he will be thrilled that he doesn't even have to get changed. Trouble is that we don't have any talc. Maybe flour will do instead


Some white t-shirts, then lots and lots and lots of cotton wool balls
Don't own white t-shirts or cotton-wool, but nice idea



AND THE WINNER IS.......

Just make a sign to hang around each of you necks

Sign 1: 'Snow time to make a costume'
Sign 2: 'I'm just a flake'

Sorry
Don't appologise welshchem - simple but effective (or at least showing that we made some vague attempt!)


Thanks everyone
