Gummy worms, that's a great idea. Face paint is easier than a mask and she can see better. How about an XXlarge brown sweatshirt and sew a piece of orange fabric down the front for the "red breast" with the tights and put some stuffing inside for the "breast". Strap a bed pillow to her, hang it from her shoulders. Make an elastic X so it goes from L shoulder to under R arm and vice versa. Sorry, thinking while I'm typing. Make the cardboard wings so she can flap them, put a handle on the inside. Duct tape is your friend. Use craft foam, all different colors and comes in large sheets, to make feet, covers for the shoes. Tape them on and under the shoes. The beak can be the same foam. Hang a gummy from the beak.lol Cardboard wings with tissue paper cut out feathers glued on, dble sided tape, or cut tissue paper is squares, ball up and attach to wings. Strap across chest and across back to hang wings. Can't think, something firm but flexible so wings could be attached to her hands but can still bend her arms instead of cardboard. Foam backed fabric. Not sure how expensive that is but Joann sells it. You know I need to see this when you are finished. Whatever you decided to do, pics are a must!lol
