There are so many options; you should encourage your child to pick a unique costume. Kids may want to dress as a Roman warrior. And, if they do, parents need not worry much about costume. Keep it simple by using an old white sheet, a thick leather belt and sandals. Encourage your child to make their own costume. If they are dressing like a Roman warrior they can make their own roman shield by following these instructions.

1.) Gather cardboard, glue and some decorations.
2.) Cut your cardboard into a rectangle.
3.) Next take a small piece of the left-over cardboard (about 2-inches thick by 8-inches long) and glue it to the back of the shield. Avoid gluing the ends, or you won’t be able to handle your shield.
4.) Let your shield dry.
