Timon (Lion King) help needed!

[bunny213]

My DGD's class is putting on "The Lion King" play....and she got the part as Timon......I need to make her a costume. I've searched and found costumes for up to 36 mos.....and then found the real expensive ones for adults. Can anyone give me any ideas how to put this together? I can sew....since it's a singing show....she won't be able to wear a mask....I thought maybe I could make one like they show on the baby costumes. I have no ideas...I found some brown capri pants at old navy and a brown hoodie on the jiffy or hanes site. This is turning into nightmare......thank you very much - barb

This sounds like you need help from the DIS boutiquers!

Someone just posted this picture on the Community Board. Maybe it will give you some inspiration.

Timon is a Meerkat.

Could you rig something out of this? http://www.caufields.com/bearcostume.aspx

They appear to have kids size S and L. I've never bought from this company so I can't say whether they are good or not.

I would go with the brown hoodie and capri pants and then 'doctor' them up a bit. You could get tan fur-like material for the stomach and then make a mask to go on top of the hoodie, something like this:

Paint her face and I bet she will look great. Good luck!
