Transform your child into a human emoji with a simple white shirt, black felt or fabric for the emoji features, and a yellow or red hoodie for the background. Add a printed emoji face on a popsicle stick for the perfect finishing touch.
Mime
This classic costume is always a hit with kids. Dress your child in all white, including a long-sleeved shirt, pants, gloves, and a beret. Add some black face paint for the eyes and mouth, and they'll be ready to perform their best silent comedy skits.
