Tip for budget-minded costumers; I asked for donations of old black, grey and white sweatshirts and turned them inside out. Much cheaper than fleece.

My son's favourite is the bumblebee one which is a yellow vest with black polar fleece strips with the zip cut out and velcro strips added so the kids can put it on/take it off themselves and some black wings at the back made with some netting.

He tries holding them sideways like a sheep (because the sheep tells him all the pretty animals like the cow and the farmer's brother have ears that stick out!)
