Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
* Black Dog Sweatshirt (If you don't have one, take a gray sweatshirt and tape a picture of a black dog with a red collar on)

* Black Pants or Jeans
* Black and White Face Paint
* Black Dog Ears (Cat Ears work best, you can get them at any party shop)
* Material for a tail (optional)

Instructions:
Put on your clothes. It's a good idea to layer because it gets chilly at night. Put on the make-up (you really don't have to wear face paint but it's cute on young kids). Put on Ears. To make the tail, use a hanger, unbend it, and slip a piece of black material on. If the kids play soccer, tube socks are good to use. Tape the socks or pin the socks/material to the hanger and voila! You're ready to go.

Other information to consider:
This is a really cute idea for little kids.
