Other information to consider:
The project doesn't require sewing, but it does require some crafty ability and patience, most of all, an open mind. This is a great project for 2 or 3 people, with more than that it can be confusing. Also, when going door to door, say trick or treat while standing together. But to receive candy, you need to separate.
