How do you make an animal (muppets) costume?

Attention! Attention! Attention! Calling all of you out there in the blogosphere / facebook world and twitterverse. How do you make an animal from the muppets costume for a 2.5 year old?

Halloween is coming up and we're getting ready for it. Maya wants to be animal from the muppets. Here favorite muppet.

I know I could probably buy one but I figure there are a lot of creative, crafty folks out there. Hit me up with you're best ideas. We already have a pair of drumsticks. :)

Disclaimer: She's 2.5 and has also stated that she wanted to be a scarecrow and cookie monster. By the time Halloween rolls around we could be doing something completely different.

She's consistent with what Mommy and Daddy should be. I'm supposed to be zombie and mommy a brain.

KGO! Mahna Mahna!
