Character ideas! You do not have to choose from this list, but it would be great if we had a number of these well-known characters! Please stick with relatively familiar children's stories or novel characters. You may certainly do a duet or trio--if you have the time to coordinate with others. You could also be an animal or fantasy character--that makes costuming even more fun!
