Each year we try to think of something a bit unique about whatever it is we want to be. So this year when the girls asked about being nerds, I asked, "The candy kind or the Urkle kind?" and they figured why not do both!

So we used foam core poster board to create the "box". We didn't want to be too enclosed, because we wanted the nerdiness to show through! It even has a UPC on the back.

Then we gathered up Grape andStrawberry colored items to create our nerd look. Plaid skirts, held up with suspenders (actually hiked up kinda goofy in the back), bow ties, and nerd glasses with coordinating tape. And wigs, to top off the color scheme. Our Ompa Loompa has a fun foam sheet costume, we just cut out the shapes we needed.

Of course they plan on passing out Nerds!
