My daughter has asked me for ideas for her 8 yr old son to wear on Wear Pink for Cancer day at school soon. Last year he went as a musician with Pink Floyd. He's been Bagpuss and we're trying to think of something new other than just a pink shirt. Ideas please Gransnetters!

Does he like football? The Scottish team played in pink the other night.

A pink grapefruit.

A pink elephant

Pink - the pop singer

A pink flower

A bottle of pink medicine

Sorry I'm not very good at this and don't quite know how you would achieve these. Good Luck with it and I hope he has fun.

Think Hamburg and Juventus also have pink strip

My very fashion conscious grandson (6) loves his trendy pink tee shirt. It has a slogan on it saying "REAL MEN WEAR PINK"

No-one would want to be seen wearing that Scottish strip after they were slaughtered beat on Friday. There, I've said it. grin

not that I give a stuffet about football. Only watched it to keep DGS happy

Various rude suggestions come to mind. All of which an 8 year old would probably relish.
Teachers keep coming up with these bright ideas which create more homework for working parents. Wear a pink shirt I say, and don't encourage them.

Before the days of all the fancy dress that is now in the shops my heart used to sink when they came home with an option to 'wear fancy dress at the end of term' ...

A deep pink shirt, football or not?

You can buy a Ronaldo No 7 Madrid away shirt for just £299.99 shock

Do children of that age actually know what they are raising money for? Do we really want them to? Sorry, not helpful. Just find a pink cowboy hat?

I think its good that children are aware of cancer, its not just an adult illness.

suggestions for a costume; pink panther, mr blobby, a pirate wearing pink, punk rocker wearing a pink wig, Babe the pig.

Thank you everyone. I think a pink football strip would be hard to find, but he'd probably happily wear that. A pink pirate is a possibility. We've had a cancer death in the family so he understands what the funds are used for.

A stick of rock?

A plain pink tee shirt and write on it in big letters THINK PINK

I like the pink T shirt with a relevant message idea roses. Thank you. Easier than most too!
