My amazing, incredible, indispensable sister made his third handmade Halloween costume (see past costumes here and here and here), and I just love everything about it:
The original idea was to have the mustache on his face, like a…mustache, but he wasn’t having it.
Ah well — it’s still cute. And I was surprised just how many adults recognized him from house to house, considering the Lorax isn’t exactly Mickey Mouse. It was certainly a hit, to say the least.
It was also extremely — extremely! — warm and cuddly, which was perfect for our chilly (post-Sandy) New York halloween.
I especially like the Truffula Tree that she made for him to carry around — like a wand.
If you’re thinking about making your own next year, see our DIY tips for the Lorax costume.

I die. I die from the cute. I can’t believe your sister made this. It’s incredible. I wish we lived nearby. I’d be in for a photo session.
