Answer 2

Does your 4 year old know what she wants to be?  My son was always sure and specific.  I think at 4 he wanted to be a pirate.  If she likes something your little one can certainly fit into the theme.  If your daughter wants to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast have the little one be the little teacup.  If your daughter wants to be Pooh have your little one be honey.  Your 4 year old could be a cheerleader and your little one the football player.  I would start with the 4 year old and go from there.

Also visit local consignment shops.  You might find costumes there that you haven't seen before and it might give you ideas.  Have fun!!

Answer 3

Since it is an Olympic year, why not explore that for something unique?

One idea that would get a lot of laughs and be fairly inexpensive would be to buy her a white leotard and dye it red and blue in sections then write USA on the chest and back. Get her a small bow and arrow set at the local dollar store. Add a gold medal on a ribbon. She's an Olympic archer. Get him a white onesie and paint a red bullseye target on it.

Email me a pic and let me know what kind of reaction it got if you use this. [e-mail]
