baggy old flannel or plaid button down shirt
baggy old pants
big old ruff looking hat
optional baggy old suit jacket
one handled cup
ashes
Instructions:
Get dressed in all of the clothing. If the clothing is old and you are not worried about them, just cut or rip bottom of the shirt and jacket up about 2-3 inches, all around.
Then get some ashes (if you don't have a fireplace, burn a corner of paper and use the ashes it creates -- an adult would have to do this).
Now take the ashes and rub all around the face and nose and even rub onto the clothing.
Then give them the cup and ask them if they can hiccup a few times!
Other information to consider:
Please make sure if you don't have any ashes, to ask an adult to do the burning part of the paper!
