kids costume, historical figure, ideas?

I’m a bit stuck. Wee man (nearly 6) needs a fancy dress costume for next week. He needs to be an historical figure. Obviously Hitler, Chairman Mao, Jessie Owens etc are all forbidden by the missus. Anyone got any helpful suggestions? I thought maybe Neil Armstrong but I bet all the boys will be dressed as him :(. Abe Lincoln maybe, but that might get expensive.

Ah I don’t bloody know. Help me stw, you’re my only hope

The Invisible Man?
Just lock him in his bedroom.

Napoleon? greatcoat, silly hat, should be short enough?

Mr Blobby.

Gandhi?

Bed Sheet
Stick
Flip-flops

Stick-on mustache and glasses if you must push the boat out.

Gandhi and Napoleon are great suggestions, keep em coming 🙂

Gandalf/Bilbo Baggins 😀

Though of course Father Christmas would be a good one for the teacher to try and get out of 😈

Bin Laden?

Doctors kit and a beard = Louis Pasteur!
Long beard, great coat carrying an inner tube = John Dunlop!
Long beard, great coat carrying an old dial phone = Alexander Bell!

I’ll get my great coat.
