Question
My 7 year old has to dress in Brazillian theme for a school expo soon - what should he wear? He is thinking of native type dress (face paint/spear). Any help is appreciated.

Answer
Hello Wendy,

The Brazilian typical dress is the soccer national team uniform:

Brazil has many native indians groups with unique body paintings and dresses:

You can also search google pictures for "indios brasil".

I hope these suggestions will help find a dress for your 7-year old "Brazilian".

Have fun!
