What's his favourite nursery rhyme?

It's quite hard to think of male nursery rhyme characters now you have asked, I keep thinking of girls. Or there are animals.

Hickory Dickory Dock - dress him as a mouse and have him carry an alarm clock.

Humpty Dumpty - paint a cardboard box to look like a wall, dress him in something padded to make his top half look egg-shaped, put straps on the box so he can stand inside it and 'wear' it with his legs sticking out the bottom and a fake pair of legs hanging over the side so it looks like he is sitting on the wall.

Baa Baa Black Sheep - dress him in black and paint his face like a sheep.

Or

Little Boy Blue - dressed in blue with a toy trumpet to blow.

Doctor Foster - in a doctors outfit and an umbrella.

Ladybird Ladybird - in red with black spots and a painted face.

Tommy Tucker - dressed as a little orphan boy with an empty bowl.

Old King Cole - with a crown, he could help make one out of card and decorate it.

Pat a Cake - dressed as a baker.

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater - dressed as a man holding a pumpkin

Ride a Cock Horse - with a hobby horse for him to ride on (I used to have one made from a garden cane and a sock!)
