1. Haunted House – Take a big box and decorate the outside to look like a haunted house. Leave the bottom of the house open for your legs. Close and tape the top of the box and then cut a whole big enough for your head to come out. Cut arm holes.
2. House from the movie ‘Up’ – This is similar to the haunted house but this time you will decorate your box to look like a cute friendly house. Cut and tape the box in the same way as the haunted house. Add lots of colorful helium balloons to float above your head.
3. Lego – Follow the taping and cutting instructions from the haunted house costume. Cut a Styrofoam pool noodle into two or three-inch wide discs. Adhere the discs to the front side of the box in a Lego pattern. For example, two columns of three or four discs each. Spray paint the entire box and discs one solid color. If you want, you can also wear a shirt and pants the same color.
4. Lemon/Lime – This is an idea that can be solo or with a friend. Find or purchase a bright yellow and a bright green long tee-shirt. Using white fabric paint, draw a half circle starting at one armpit and ending near the end of the shirt. The top of the half circle should be near the center of the shirt. Draw a line straight down connecting both ends of the semicircle. Now, draw three lines from the center of the straight line to different points of the circle. If you drew from the left armpit of one shirt, then draw from the right arm on the next shirt. It should look like half a lime or half a lemon. When wearing this with a friend, you will be lemon and lime.
5. Spool of Yarn – You will need a spool of yarn, butcher block paper or wrapping paper with a white plain back, two wood dowels, and two wood beads. Glue one end of each dowl into one wood bead. Unwind the spool of yarn. Now, wind it haphazardly all over your body but make sure you can move your arms and legs and do not put it around your neck. Unroll enough paper to put around your body and overlap a bit. Have an adult wrap the paper around your torso just below your armpits and secure with clear packing tape. Glue the dowls to the inside of the paper so they are sticking out near your shoulders. An adult can also write yarn or other fun things on your label.
