Massive street festivities have long been the adornment of any developed city. Various festivals and parades delight and unite the townspeople. The most popular are family-themed parades. The parade of strollers, for example, is not only a publicity stunt to improve the demographic situation in the country, but also an occasion to show off your kids and rich imagination. Having decided to participate in the stroller parade, it is important to think over all the smallest details - from the ways of decorating the stroller to the outfits of parents and baby.
You can decorate the stroller with the help of materials at hand - fabrics, cardboard, etc. First, decide who your child will be - a special royal blood, a hero or heroine of cartoons or fairy tales, or maybe an employee of popular professions or a funny animal? If the child is dressed up as a bee, the stroller should imitate an opened flower, etc. Use your imagination and draw a rough version of the chosen image on a piece of paper. Have patience and the necessary materials. Invite the whole family to participate in the design. Someone will cut, someone will glue, someone will sew, etc. In the course of work, do not be surprised that it does not turn out the way you originally thought of. Reasonable improvisation has never harmed anyone.
Option 1. Cheburashka and Gena the crocodile. Buy or sew a Cheburashka costume for your child. Dad can dress up as a crocodile Gena, and mom or grandmother - in Shapoklyak. Since in the fairy tale Cheburashka was brought to the city in a wooden box with oranges, the carriage should imitate a wooden box. To do this, glue the body of the stroller with cardboard (you can simply put on an old cardboard box on top), line it in the form of vertical planks, paint it like a tree and draw nail heads and a postage stamp here and there. Place something that looks like straw and rubber balls that imitate oranges inside the stroller. It is better to avoid real fruits - suddenly the child decides to eat them in the midst of the holiday.
Option 2. Doctor Aibolit. The child and parents should dress up as doctors. The stroller will act as an ambulance. To do this, you will need a cardboard box again. Draw and cut out the windows, paint the vehicles with the appropriate identification marks. Wheels can be made from black cardboard and glued to the frame. Instead of a medical theme, you can use a military (tank-wheelchair) or police clearance (traffic police or PPS transport).
Option 3. Charming Shrek. The chubby little toddler is perfect for the role of a good-natured green giant. The stroller can be designed in the form of a rotten stump or a dry tree. Use cardboard and real branches. You can also cover the stroller body with a suitable fabric with painted forest elements.
Option 4. Treasure chest. What's the best treasure in the world? Of course, kid. No special costumes are required for the child, the main thing is that the clothes are smart. And parents can dress up as pirates. The stroller must be decorated with an open chest with gold coins. To decorate the case, a rich chocolate velvet fabric with gold-plated ribbons on the sides and a sewn-on paper keyhole in the front in the middle is suitable. Instead of coins, you can lay inside a gold-colored fabric or sew on a pair of shiny yellow buttons so that the child cannot tear them off.
Option 5. His (her) Highness. The carriage should be decorated in the form of a royal carriage, the child should be dressed up as a prince or princess, and the parents should be turned into court ladies and gentlemen. This is the most difficult design option - cardboard is inappropriate here, because it is too simple. All kinds of fabrics, ribbons, chains, beads, voluminous flower buds, etc. will do. Attach a gilded foil crown to the stroller's roof or side.
