Easy-to-find basics like a hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants are the starting points for this fun Halloween costume. And a clever notch at each shoulder allows this penguin's wings to lie just right.
| Prep Time: Afternoon or Evening | |
| What you need: | |
| Black craft foam (two 12- by 18-inch sheets)
White craft foam (one 12- by 18-inch sheet) Duct tape Hook-on bow tie with adjustable band (we found ours at a costume shop) Yellow craft foam (one 9- by 12-inch sheet) Double-sided foam mounting tape Black hooded sweatshirt Black sweatpants | |
| Seasons: Halloween | |
| Materials: craft foam | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Cut 2 wings and a belly from craft foam. You can download
these
templates
for all the penguin pieces. Cut a triangle from the top of each
wing, then tape it closed with the duct tape; this creates a
shape that hugs the shoulder. |
| 2. |  Cut slits and thread the bow tie through them. |
| 3. |  Cut out the beak, 2 feet, and 4 circles for the eyes from
craft foam. Fold the beak in half lengthwise, then use
double-sided foam tape inside the point to secure the
fold. |
| 4. |  Tape the small circles onto the big ones. |
| 5. |  Attach the beak and eyes to the sweatshirt hood and the
feet to your child's shoes with double-sided foam tape. Secure
the bow tie around your child's neck and adjust it to fit.
