Oh dear!!!!!!! That would be a great one for a fancy dress wouldn't it. I dread to think the mess the kids would get in with the ketchup, and the schools health and safety wouldn't allow it. Incase they slipped  | |

You're Top Poster: #4  | boy or girl? boys would be short trousers, socks and sensible shoes. A button shirt with a tank top over it, then probably a jacket. cap. hair neatly combed and parted. Girls are similar shoes and socks. knee length skirt, blouse and cardigan, again probably a jacket and a hat. Hair in plaits. Of course that should nicely annoy them. Add to this a gas mask size box on a long length of string to be worn over the head and across the front handbag style. Then a brown luggage label (WHSmith sell them) with name, DOB and departure/destination written on it as an evacuee.

You're Top Poster: #4 | of course thats a young child up to about 13ish. but should be fine. They need to hit all of the charity shops within a 25mile radius to get what they need.
