If your daughter is not a girlie girl and doesnt mind being a boy character, She could wear a white shortsleeve shirt with a ribbon tied in a bow around her neck, a pair of dugarees cut into shorts, gloves, hat and then straighten out four wire coat hangers, bend the ends around her wrists and join them all together high up over her head and tape them to 2 sticks in an x shape, two rosey red cheeks and you have a pinocchio puppet. If that description makes sense.
You could then paint or wrap wool around the wires to make them look like string.
She can even wear tights, Im sure they will be needed
You might have to join two hangers together to make sure its high enough over her head to let her move around normally.
Ps: lI should have said, loop one hanger around each wrist and the other two hangers going down the back and tied around the belt holes on her dungarees
