Cardboard Costumes

Your child needs a costume for a party, so what do you do? Well, I go straight to the garage for cardboard boxes and poster paint. Recently, my son was invited to a Star Wars themed birthday party, where the party goers were asked to come as their favorite character from the movie series. My son settled on Jango Fett, as seen in the picture. I really enjoyed taking the time to cut out and paint the helmet and breastplate, punch some holes, and tie them off with ribbon. If you have the time and desire, consider some creative recycling of your cardboard boxes; it can be a lot of fun.
