Make Something Monday: Super Suit
August 03, 2015 11:12 AM Filed in: Spotlight Story
After a busy and somewhat chaotic July, we are back for a Super Duck marathon! For the next several days we will be doing at least one Super Duck activity per day! So put on your capes and join us for a week of super fun!
#makesomethingmonday
Tots love to be heroes! So let's help them make their own super hero costumes and identities! Before we get started, we will need to determine a few details about their super hero qualities.
1) What is your super power?
2) Who do you protect?
3) What is your weakness?
We'll also need to figure out if they want a cape, because as we learned from The Incredibles, capes can be dangerous for a super hero!
Once we have the details, we can get started making masks, cuffs, and capes. We have a few options depending how fancy we want to get.
Mask options:
1. Use posterboard, felt, or a foam sheet and cut out the shape of a mask then decorate with markers and/or glitter, add yarn or elastic to secure the mask around your tot's head.
2. Cut a long piece of fabric to tie around your tot's head, then cut out eye holes and decorate with fabric markers.
Cape options:
1. Cut up a t-shirt but leave the collar. Cut through the collar and add velcro to make the cape easily detachable in case it gets caught. As we learned above, the cape should have an emergency release like velcro! :) Then go to town with fabric paints and markers to customize the cape.
2. Use one of those paper bags you have hanging around your house. Cut it into the shape of a cape, decorate with markers, glitter, and/or stickers. You can attach it around the shoulders with pipe cleaners or rubber bands or yarn, but don't attach around the neck for safety reasons.
Cuff options:
1. Use the cardboard left from toilet paper rolls. Make a cut up the middle lengthwise, then cover with construction paper and decorate.
2. Use foam paper and cut to fit your tot's wrists. Secure with velcro or tape. Decorate with stickers or glitter glue!
