Winnie the Pooh experiences many adventures with his friends and learns what true friendship means. Be inspired by his story and make a family costume for carnival.

The next ideas are inspired by comic books and films based on the comic books. Most superheroes and villains are easily recognizable by their specific disguise. For example, Batman and Catwoman are dressed entirely in black, Robin wears a costume in red and green. Captain America wears a tight jersey in blue, white and red (colors found on the flag of the United States). Spiderman is known for his red and blue costume. The villains all also have a typical look: Poison Ivy, for example, wears an ivy dress.
