Beauty and the Beast Costume Ideas

Good afternoon all, 
 
As I am sure you are aware, we are beginning to work on our skit for the talent show. Each child was given a part and will need a costume for the show. I have put together a document with some ideas for the costumes. It is very important that all students that have the same role match, so please coordinate with other parents that have the same part as your child. 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions. 
Ms. Trickett
