As in, Harold and the Purple Crayon.
The costume wasn't as easy to put together as it might seem. Finding a solid pair of footed pj's is tough, but we eventually lucked out at Land's End. Even though Elias is well within the 3 to 6 month range, these are a bit roomy. As for the purple crayon, in the end we went with the obvious choice (a purple crayon...one of those large crayons), but he only held the crayon for the photo op as it took about three seconds to find its way into his mouth.
Anyway, I love this story, about a boy who uses a purple crayon to draw various things as he goes for a moonlit walk one night and eventually tries to get back home to his room and his bed. You can watch the 1969 animated version here.
Happy Halloween!

I loved Harold & the purple crayon! Elias looks like him!!
That's what we thought! It's funny because more than three months later, he still fits these pj's, can you believe that?! Land's End runs so huge. They're getting a little snug around his chunky thighs but they're plenty long still...
