Options
Hi,
My kids have got 'french day' at school tommorow so can go dressed up as a typical french person. I was planning on sending DS in jeans,a red or white tshirt, a beret hat, string of onions and a drawn on moustach with eyeliner...any better ideas or any websites out there for printable french flags ect..?

  • I went in wearing an old white T-shirt with a Tricolore and 'Vive la France' marked on it using fabric crayons... although you might be able to improvise :)

    The French flag is so easy... are you sure you need a printable one? :D
    My TV is broken! :cry:

    Send them in their normal school clothes and tell them to say they don't want to go down the route of stereotyping fellow Europeans.:p

    Entering into the spirit of things- How about a mini David Ginola or Thierry Henri? Joan of Arc, Napoleon( a dark adult winter coat and an eyepatch)

    Or dress them as a banknote and tell them they're going as 'Monet' (geddit?:rolleyes: )

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I've never seen a French person walking around with a string of onion around their neck!!! And how many wear a beret? Lol!

    However, it's a great idea and the children will have a great time!! :T
