How to make it

  1. Dress in a cardigan, long skirt or trousers and a shawl.
  2. Add old-fashioned glasses (lenses popped out) and a scarf or headscarf.
  3. Draw a few gentle wrinkles with a brown eye pencil.
  4. Carry a “walking stick” made from a wrapping-paper tube.
Tip: Skip spray-on grey hair dye if your child has sensitive skin — a little cornflour works too.
