Look! Double-Duty Cookie Costume

2008-10-30-cookie.jpg

Is your child's Halloween costume going to wallow in a closet for a year and then get passed off to a sibling or neighbor? Amber fulfilled her son's wish to be a "Big Cookie!" for Halloween and also devised a clever way to repurpose the costume around the house. Any guesses what new life it's living?

Chair cushions! What kid wouldn't want to sit on a giant cookie (or, with simple alterations, a bagel, pizza, etc.). Plus, it can do triple duty as a soft pillow to hug and play with.

Amber has written up an easy tutorial if you want to "bake" some up yourself. It's one of many great ideas she's got cooking over at Make Baby Stuff.
