text: very simple, make the children up as the sugar plum fairy(pretty party dress), candy cane lane (have a child wear a red and white stripe shirt with a red hat and red pants),\ngum drops (use felt to make two big triangles that would fit over childrens shoulders, sew together sides with openings left for arms to come out.  Leave bottom and top open for head and legs)  Look at board for other ideas.  You will also need adults walking along side the float for safety reasons, have them dress as the gingerbread pieces that move around the board, (blue, green, red and yellow)  Should be really cute.
