All you need is a red cape and poof\u2026instant magician. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/351210470938627758\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MarthaStewart.com<\/a> recommends attaching two pieces of red satin ribbon to a stretch of red satin fabric and voil\u00e0! We recommend adding a top hat and a stuffed animal rabbit to complete the look, if available.<\/p>\n<h3>Little Bandit<\/h3>\n<p>Black pants? Black and white striped shirt?

First, source a play doctor kit for a stethoscope. Add a basic shower cap from the local drug store and you\u2019re well on your way. An oversized button-down shirt serves as a lab coat. Add blue pants and comfortable shoes and you\u2019re good to go. If you have time to order a set of kids scrubs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Toddler-Costume-Pretend-Halloween-10-12yr\/dp\/B07H466T5W\/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1540495390&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=kids+scrubs&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this set<\/a> is very affordable on Amazon Prime!<\/p>\n<h3>Aerobics instructor<\/h3>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/351210470938627647\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aerobics instructor costume<\/a> works for any age, but is especially adorable on infants.
