Perhaps you could borrow or make historical hats: derbies, top hats, etc. If police and fire depts have old-fashioned hats, that would be cool! I can't remember the exact title, but there's a really good Dr Seuss book about the hats of Bartholomew Huggins (I think) that would be fun.
Ask your community helpers: Firefighters, Police, Mailman, Doctor, Dentist, etc. to provide hats for the kids to wear.
Make Super large hats out of poster board, cut two holes in each (large enough for the child's arms), have them hold them up by placing their arms in through the holes, then they can still wave to the parade audience!

RE: Themed Float Ideas
Rent the movie "Babes in Toyland" for ideas. (10/24/2007)
Take a vote from your kids. Have them suggest their ideas. Pick a few good ones then have them vote. They will feel important about being involved in the idea process. (11/10/2008)

RE: Themed Float Ideas
I am from Eusoff Hall, National University of Singapore. We've been building floats every year and our Christmas theme this year might give you some ideas. We've built a shoe house a.k.a. Toy Factory this year together with a toaster with gingerbread man, a snowman, trees and a watermill.
