Have just found stuffed in my son's pocket a letter from school saying he needs to go in a 'spotty' outfit tomorrow to raise money for children in need. I am probably the least creative person ever have no money and no ideas any help you can give me would be mucho appreciated!!!!!!

the simplest idea I can think of is a white t shirt and draw some coloured circles/spots on with felt pens.

Very simple and very cheap and your son can help you with it too.

We've got this too.:rolleyes:

My plan is too find an old tshirt and draw spots on it. Failing that you could get your son to colour in circles of paper then you can cut them out and stick them on his uniform.

I'm also going to paint dots on their faces and put them in spotty tights (but I doubt your son would appreciate that. )

Just what I need to be doing at 8am tommorrow. :rolleyes:

Thank you both. Haribo what are you going to paint on their faces with? The last of our face paints were used on Halloween any ideas?

Ive ahad a quick google and found this recipe for home meade face paint

Facepaint Recipe #1
1 tsp. Cornstarch
½ tsp. Cold cream
½ tsp. Water
Food coloring (variety of colors)
Mix together cornstarch and cold cream until well blended. Add water and stir. Add food coloring one drop at a time until you get the desired color.

I havent tried it so dont know how much it might stain so might be worth trying on back of your hand first.

If you google home made face paint theres a few recipes on there.
