One year, I dressed my sons as a pair of dice! I found 2 fairly square boxes at a discount store. I cut one hole in the top (for the head) and one on each side for the arms. I left the bottom of the box open. I covered the boxes with newsprint that I had received for free at the newspaper office. We drew and cut out black circles from colored paper for the dice numbers. These corresponded to a real dice so that the head and arm holes were part of the dice design. The boys were black pants and black turtlenecks. The costume cost me practically nothing and it was so cute. If you choose to use this idea, select boxes that are relative size to your child/adult. NOTE: It may be difficult for child to hold candy bags with both hands...
