Props and Costumes

Ask your family for props and costumes. Be creative and remember that simple button down shirts and dark pants work best. If you have old shoes and hats bring them in. Old Halloween costumes can be transformed into olden day attire.

Don't forget a large container or reusable bag to store your items.
