HALLOWEEN: Last Minute Costume with a Box

Halloween is this Saturday!!! If you still don´t have a costume for your child here´s an easy way out. Find a large box (check out your garage or your local grocery store). Many costumes can be easily made with paint, paper, glue gun and of course, a cardboard box.

• TV - paint black or gray, add a screen with a cut out from a favorite tv show
• iPOD - paint black, white, pink add an image of a favorite character or singer, or add your child´s own picture
• ROBOT - add buttons, glue spare metallic objects, with a smaller box you can add a head to the robot
• Rubik´s Cube - a step back to the eighties, but still fun, cut out squares from colored paper and glue all around
• Dice - easy! Paint white and add dots with a thick black marker

For all costumes, remember to cut a slit on top of box for head, and two on the sides for arms to come out. Do this carefully with scissors or cutter, with your child far away from you. For the decorating, invite them to join the fun and give their ideas. When you´re done, simply dress your child with clothes matching the costume your chose! Happy Halloween!
