3 Blind Mice

Have a group of 3? This 3 Blind Mice costume is easy to pull off pretty quickly. All you need is matching solid colored shirts and pants, some sunglasses, and some mice ears. Now this one might not be AS easy to just throw together, but hit up your nearest Walmart or Target for the matching clothes the day before or day of and you will be good to go. The hardest part would be making the ears if you don’t have time to buy them, and those can be easily made with some black felt and a black headband.

If you have a bigger group, this is a great and easy costume for you! A white t-shirt and a sharpie are your easiest route here, just make sure you keep a piece of cardboard in between your shirt while drawing on the spots so they don’t bleed through.
