Product Information

If I had more time, I likely would have had my son find a good stick from the backyard to use as a handle. Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes: If you plan on wearing your costume for an extended period, comfortable shoes are a must. This post is brought to you by a frantic mom who realized she needed easy book character costumes at 8pm the night before said costumes were needed. The comedian’s name trended on Twitter after the character sang TLC's No Scrubs on theITVshow last night.

I used an X_ACTOknife to cut out my chicken shape from the cardboard, and painting the chicken is the best part! Willems wanted to create an engaging experience for his young readers, so he decided to dress up as his own character. With a little bit of creativity and some simple materials, you can bring this beloved children’s book character to life. Pigeon added that she had ‘ruffled a few feathers in her time’ but was ‘unflappable' and ‘good at being able to ask the tougher questions’.Add a feather boa: Pigeons are known for their feathers, so why not add some extra feathers to your costume?

The first Mo Willems Pigeon costume was created by the author himself for a book signing event in 2003. Also, if your paper plates are thin, consider gluing a few together so that it holds up better once painted.

While you’re waiting for the first plate to dry, cut the center of the second plate out for the pigeon’s eye and beak.
