Knight in felty armour

You can buy this costume - but it would be easy to mimic. Get a winter headband, affix some felt tips and circles to embellish your crown. Go to the dollar store for a cheap sword. There you have it,  some felt, a glue gun and some cardboard and you're little prince can become a dragon slayer.
