Anthony's love of "The Wizard of Oz" is even greater than his love of Mary Poppins, if you can imagine such a thing. He's not even afraid of the flying monkeys!We've been acting out various scenes from the movie for quite some time, his favorites being have a bucket of water dumped on him and having a flying house land on his prostrate body. To go with his pretend play I made Anthony his very own witch costume. Its basically a long robe with flowing sleeves (pattern calls it "unisex wizard costume") and I used black and gold metallic material and gold trim. I think it came out pretty darn snazzy.
I used Anthony's Christmas money from Aunt Jessica to purchase two presents that were instant hits, the DVD and a Wicked Witch of the West action figure (aka doll). I love the additional features on the DVD, especially "Read to Me" with Angela Lansbury reading a shorter Wizard of Oz story, and the sing-along feature which is just the musical numbers.
