Creating a Doctor Costume

For Boys and Girls:

A doctor’s costume is a classic choice for Halloween or a school play. Here’s a simple guide to creating one:

Essential Components:

1. White Coat: A long, white lab coat is the core of the costume. You can purchase one or make it from white fabric.
2. Stethoscope: A toy stethoscope can be purchased at most party stores.
3. Doctor’s Bag: A small, black bag to hold medical supplies (can be filled with toys or real medical supplies, with adult supervision).

Optional Accessories:

• Mask: A surgical mask or a mask with a doctor’s face.
• Glasses: A pair of glasses can add a professional touch.
• Hat: A doctor’s cap or a nurse’s cap.

DIY Tips:

1. Coat: If you’re making the coat, use a simple pattern for a long, loose-fitting garment.
2. Stethoscope: You can make a stethoscope from cardboard and tubing.
3. Doctor’s Bag: Use a small, black bag and decorate it with a red cross or the word “Doctor.”

Where to Buy:

• Costume Stores: Local costume stores often have doctor costumes.
• Online Retailers: Websites like RentMyCostume offer a wide range of doctor costumes.

Remember: The key to a great doctor costume is attention to detail. Pay attention to the little things, like the stethoscope and the doctor’s bag.
